Exile Sun

Far out in space, around the star Exile, a divided group of colonies clings to life on a harsh new world. A little over two hundred years ago, contact with Earth suddenly went silent. Ever since, everyone has been fighting to survive and rebuild. Now the leaders are battling for power: who gets to lead the united colonies on the dangerous mission to reach Earth again? Time is running out, and nobody is waiting for you. In Exile Sun you send your fleets through space. You explore, mislead the enemy with a decoy fleet and pick your moment to strike. A frontal attack on a planet shows raw strength, but taking out an enemy flagship can hit just as hard and costs you less. Meanwhile, you must never forget your own colony. Neglect it and your followers lose their trust in you, which quickly knocks you out of the running. The heart of this game is a combat system without luck: everything comes down to your choices and your timing. Using a control card full of sliding tabs, you plan your moves in secret, at the same time as your opponents. That makes every clash tense and sharp. Add deck building, card collecting and six unique player advantages, and you have a strategic adventure where nothing is left to chance. After three rounds, the player with the most points wins.
