Planet Unknown

In a not-so-distant future, Earth's resources are depleted, and humanity must find a new home. The good news is that our space rovers have found some promising planets for colonization! In Planet Unknown, 1 to 6 players compete to develop the most habitable planet, transforming a barren space rock into an intergalactic paradise. Each round, you'll grab a polyomino-shaped tile, representing a development module with two infrastructure types, and strategically place it on your planet. Every tile is crucial for efficiently covering your territory and boosting your planet's 'engine.' After placing the tile, you activate two actions related to the infrastructure types it provides. But beware! Some placements might attract 'meteors,' making development harder for everyone and potentially preventing scoring in certain rows and columns. What makes Planet Unknown super innovative is how it handles the polyomino mechanic: a central rotating board, like a cosmic 'Lazy Susan,' allows everyone to play simultaneously, yet with a strategic layer of turns. It's a spatial puzzle that blends planning, optimization, and a touch of indirect interaction, perfect for those who enjoy a building and management challenge.
