As Earth begins to die, it is time for humanity to look Beyond the Sun.
In Beyond the Sun, you will take on the role of a faction leader. These leaders once ruled the planet separately, but now work together to develop cutting-edge technology and explore the depths of space. However, only one leader will truly reign supreme in these new worlds.
Will it be you?
You and your friends will take turns to take an action available on the technology board, then produce resources. As more technologies are researched, more actions become available to the players. Actions allow players to improve their economy, move spaceships, colonize systems, and research new technologies. Those actions belong exclusively to the player who discovers them until the other players catch up! The game ends when a number of achievements are fulfilled, and the faction with the most points claims victory!
Game Features
Innovative technology tree – Each developed technology feeds into the next available technology. Dozens of variable tech cards are included which makes the possible technological advancements different from game to game.
Resource cycle of life – The game features a unique cyclical economic system that provides interesting challenges. Should you produce more money to grow your economic power or more food to increase the population needed for further expansion?
Multiple paths to victory – Become a technological powerhouse, build an impressive fleet of warships, or colonize the most planets. All possibilities are open to you as you strive for the ultimate triumph!
