About the game

What you do in a play session

In the 23rd century, humanity has finally discovered extraterrestrial life beyond our solar system. With technological advancements, advanced civilizations have been found on planets, moons, and asteroids across the Milky Way. Now, the race to establish interstellar relations has begun! In EGO, you take on the role of ambassadors from the Extraterrestrial Greeting Organization (EGO), competing to gain political prestige and influence among alien civilizations. The game combines strategic auctions, resource management, and events that can change the course of the game. Every decision is crucial: pushing your luck too far can lead to severe penalties, while calculated moves can secure significant end-game bonuses. With a modular board and mechanics like sealed bids and transmission events, EGO offers a dynamic and tension-filled experience. Who will impress the aliens and secure a seat in the Galactic Senate?
