When the Earth begins to die, it is time for humanity to look beyond the sun.

Welcome to Earth of the 23rd century. Humanity is facing extinction on a dying planet. In one last, desperate effort, the entire human species has come together to create the technology needed to travel beyond the solar system. The various factions that controlled the planet have set aside their differences to ensure that the human species finds a new home.

You will have the task of leading one of these powerful factions. It is up to you to guide your followers to new homes among dozens of habitable planets discovered in nearby systems. Humanity will survive, but who will control its destiny? The galaxy we seek to explore and colonize is boundless. Will your faction become the dominant power in this new era of history?

How does it work?
Players take turns performing one action from those available on the technology board, then produce resources. As new technologies are developed, new actions become available to the players.
The actions allow players to improve their economy, move spaceships, colonize systems, and develop other technologies. The game ends when a certain number of milestones is reached: the faction that has accumulated the most points wins!
