About the game
What you do in a play session
In Horizons, you're an interstellar civilization taking its first steps into an uncharted galaxy. Each turn, choose two actions from exploring unknown worlds, building colonies, harvesting resources, or recruiting strategic allies. The modular board ensures every game is unique, with star systems forming randomly as you progress. The area majority competition creates delicious tensions - is it worth expanding your empire or focusing on secret missions? With tile placement and area influence mechanics, Horizons offers a tactical experience where every decision matters. The game ends when someone places their last colony, and victory goes to whoever scores the most points through territorial control, accumulated knowledge, and completed objectives. Perfect for fans of space civilization games with a touch of indirect player interaction.
