Get ready for a miniature galactic showdown! Eminent Domain: Microcosm is that quick, no-nonsense card game that throws you right into the middle of a war between two space empires. In just about 15 to 20 minutes, you'll feel all the thrill of building your own stellar domain. Each turn, your mission is to grab a card from the table and decide what to do: use its action to colonize planets, attack opponents, invest in research or political maneuvers, or scoop up your discard pile back into your hand for more options. But beware, each card has a scoring condition, and the secret to winning is maximizing those conditions. Remember the bigger game, Eminent Domain? Well, here we can also boost actions by revealing cards with the same icon, giving that extra kick to your plays. It's an intense duel where every decision counts, perfect for those who enjoy space strategy without the fuss.
