Board Game Geek Avg Player Rating: 8.56. This board game is suitable for 1 to 6 players and was published in 2022. It's a Kickstarter exclusive deluxe edition from Adam’s Apple Games. The package includes the core game, a custom rotating board, a S.U.S.A.N. Lid, triple - layer player boards, custom upgraded plastic components, a custom wooden first - player marker, and all unlocked stretch goals. Note that paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Our planet has depleted its resources, forcing us to find new homes. We've discovered planets and sent rovers to check their viability for colonization. Planet Unknown is a competitive game where players aim to build and develop the best planet. Each round, players place a dual - resourced polyomino tile on their planet. These resources are the infrastructure for supporting life. Every tile placement matters as it helps cover the planet efficiently and build its engine. After placing a tile, players perform two actions related to the tile's infrastructure types. Watch out! Some tile placements trigger meteors, making planet development harder and preventing row and column scoring. Planet Unknown innovates on the polyomino trend with simultaneous yet strategic turn - based play via the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station. It condenses a 3 - hour medium - weight game into about 70 minutes for 1 - 6 players. At TheGameSteward, we're excited to offer this game. A significant portion of your purchase will go towards backing new Kickstarter games. If you have questions about buying or need game advice, contact us at The Game Steward.
To play Planet Unknown, first, set up the game by taking out the core game, custom rotating board, S.U.S.A.N. Lid, triple - layer player boards, custom upgraded plastic components, and the custom wooden first - player marker. Decide who will be the first player using the marker. Each round, every player places one dual - resourced polyomino tile on their planet. After placing the tile, do the two actions related to the infrastructure types on the tile. Be careful when placing tiles because some placements can trigger meteors. Meteors make it harder to develop planets and stop them from scoring points in their row and column. The game uses the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station in the center of the table for simultaneous yet strategic turn - based play. It usually takes about 70 minutes to play, no matter how many players there are. Regarding the paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign, they are not included unless stated otherwise. Keep all the game components in a dry and clean place. If the components get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Enjoy playing and have fun building your best planet!
