## Description
Ever wondered what it would be like to shape the universe? In Entropy, you're not just a spectator; you're a scientist apprentice in a society that has finally mastered entropy—the force of chaos. Now, you face your final exam: proving you can create solar systems from scratch. But let's be clear: this is science, not magic (even if it feels like it!). You'll need precision to ignite stars, shape biomes, and ultimately seed life on distant planets. The catch? You're competing against other apprentices in the same complex, and only the best will ascend to the revered caste of scientists.

Gameplay revolves around a Rondel system. Each turn, you move your Scientist 1 to 3 spaces clockwise. Where you land determines your action: either an inner space on the main board or an outer action tile. Your goal is to build solar systems using stars, planets, and asteroids, filling them with life by playing cards. To boost your performance, you can add biomes and upgrade your Console, gaining special abilities that streamline your progress. The tension ramps up because the game ends as soon as two of the six main objectives are completed. The player with the most Victory Points at the end proves their mastery over cosmic laws and wins the game. Get ready to plan every move, as every space on the Rondel is critical to your ascension!
