In Cosmogenesis, you’re the architect of your own planetary system. Starting with a star and an asteroid belt, your goal is to create planets, moons, and even life! The central board has four sections offering different essential elements for your cosmic journey. Each round, you collect one element from each section over four turns. With these resources, you form planets and moons, which can collide to grow in size, develop rings, form atmospheres, and perhaps even give rise to life. All while trying to fulfill your personal objectives, which are also obtained from the central board. In the end, it’s these objectives that determine the winner, so choose your strategies wisely!
