In Full Metal Planète, you're an intergalactic tycoon with a clear mission: land on an inhospitable planet and plunder as much ore as you can before time runs out! Prepare your tanks, boats, barges, and mining equipment, because the competition is fierce and the weather is unforgiving. Each player commands a fleet of vehicles and a base ship, all to secure the largest slice of the metallic pie. The game shines with an action point system where you decide how to allocate your resources each turn, whether concentrating everything on the movement of a single unit for a daring assault or spreading your points to coordinate multiple actions. And here's the twist: turns are timed! This means there's no time for overthinking; you need to be quick and decisive, as once a move is made, there's no going back. Forget dice, here strategy and mental agility are the stars. Visually, the game is a spectacle, with a detailed hex grid board and real metal miniatures that give your units incredible weight and presence. It's an intense tactical experience with a sci-fi touch that transports you directly into the space race for resources.
