About the game
What you do in a play session
Cosmic Factory is a fast and fun game where you build your own galaxy in real-time. Over five rounds, each player must assemble and optimize a personal board with nine tiles, trying to create the best possible combination of planets and asteroids. The catch? You’re racing against the clock! Each round, a Kaos card changes the game rules, forcing everyone to adapt on the fly. At the end, your score is calculated by adding your longest asteroid path to your weakest zone. The highest number wins! Perfect for fans of dynamic games full of twists and turns.
