About the game
What you do in a play session
What makes Beyond Humanity: Colonies so special? The miniatures aren't just pretty; they're smart! Buildings that light up, modules that communicate with each other and with the companion app, and an innovative NFC card system you just swipe over the central ARC building. This ensures a super-fast game pace without losing the depth and dynamic conditions we love. Forget tedious math; the app handles everything, simulating a super realistic colonist society. Your job is to focus on resident moods and colony conditions to make the best decisions.
With varied scenarios and difficulties, from the most relaxed to hellish planets with minimal resources, replayability is virtually infinite. Choose from 700,000 planets, nine different managers, and hidden goals to ensure every game is a new adventure. The team behind the game prides itself on creating an accurate and organic simulation where randomness is minimal and player experience is paramount. And the metagame? It connects all colonies, allowing you to influence other players, trade with them, and even form megacorps. It's a true milestone in the hybrid game universe, combining hard-SF, transhumanism, and cyberpunk.
