You command a faction of scientists, technocrats or corporations aiming to expand humanity across three fronts: the developing world, the digital cloud, and outer space. Each round represents a period of progress where you place workers on research, production and exploration projects, wield multi‑use cards to speed breakthroughs or open new markets, and trade resources in a dynamic market that mirrors supply and demand. Victory points are partly hidden, keeping the suspense alive as you never know if you’re truly ahead. A sudden‑death trigger can end the game abruptly, demanding rapid, dramatic decisions. The game blends worker placement, pattern recognition on cards, and resource management within a richly detailed sci‑fi theme. Playtime ranges from 60 to 150 minutes, solo or with up to four players, and it carries a medium‑high complexity (weight 4.4/5). High‑quality components include modular boards, illustrated cards and futuristic resource tokens. In short, Pax Transhumanity delivers a deep strategic experience for those who love to plan humanity’s future while juggling a ever‑shifting market. ## FAQ ### How many players can play? 1 to 4 players, including a solo mode. ### What is the typical playtime?
