Xia: Legends of a Drift System

Players command customizable Tier 1 starships in an open-ended sci-fi sandbox. Each turn, captains pilot their ships through a modular drift system to explore sectors, accept and complete missions, mine and salvage resources, trade cargo cubes, and engage in ship-to-ship combat. Fame points accrue from missions, combat victories, trading profits, buying higher-tier ships, and claiming Titles; the player with the most Fame becomes the game's legend. Ship customization and player choice drive play: build fast scouts, heavily armed raiders, or balanced traders and adapt tactics as the board and opponents change. Games vary widely in scope and tone depending on player choices and table modding.
