About the game
What you do in a play session
Earth is on its last legs, and the only hope lies with the Exodus Fleet! In Exodus Fleet, you and your fellow players are in a race against time (and each other) to build spaceships and escape the dying planet. The game blends resource management with tableau building, where every decision counts. Will you focus on building ships from a single faction to gain bonuses, or will you prefer to create synergies between them to boost your actions? The competition is fierce, especially with the auction and role selection system. Who will manage to hire the essential miners, builders, and other specialists? And more importantly: how much money do your opponents still have stashed away to outbid you? Deciding whether it's more worthwhile to spend resources on more ships, rescue more survivors, or bet on explorers is a constant dilemma. Each strategic and tactical choice brings you closer to salvation or leaves you behind. Prepare for a tense and interactive experience where planning is key, but adaptability might be the difference between success and failure in escaping Earth.
