Description
In Planetarium a new and unique solar system will be forged from the swirling mass of matter that orbits its star. Players will take part in this creation, moving tokens to simulate gravity and the accretion of matter, crashing it onto planets that have begun to form. Cards will be played that evolve each planet in significant and varied ways; from scorching one into a barren waste, to transforming another into a potential nursery for life. Planets also migrate in their orbits, and each game ends with a completely unique system.
Planetarium is designed for growing families, science-lovers and hobby gamers. Simple rules combine with interesting and challenging game play. The thematic elements of the game have been developed with an eye on the science, led by a scientist working on NASA's search for life on Mars, and are complimented with stunning and original artworks.
The theme of Planetarium: Primordial is inspired by scientific fact and speculation about the origin of our solar system and planetary systems throughout the universe. As this campaign runs we are working with Professor Dante Lauretta, planetary scientist and designer of board games Xtronaut and Constellations, to write thematic science text for the many cards in the expansion. Keep your eye out for project updates, as we reveal more of the amazing planetary art and science behind the game!
