About the game

What you do in a play session

Prepare for a space odyssey in Space Gate Odyssey! Humanity has discovered a promising star system, and confederations are racing to colonize new exoplanets. You take on the role of leader of one of these confederations, tasked with sending as many settlers as possible to these distant worlds. The main challenge? Building and optimizing your space station, the nerve center for transporting your settlers. Every decision matters: the choice and arrangement of your station's modules, the efficiency of settler flow to the space gates, and, of course, the strategic selection of landing spots on the exoplanets. The smarter your station, the more settlers you'll send to the most advantageous locations, accumulating influence. But beware! Too many open corridors in the station can be a danger to your settlers and harm your reputation. At the end of the colonization of the five exoplanets, each confederation's influence will be measured, and the most influential leader will become the Governor of the new system. Space Gate Odyssey cleverly combines resource management, route building, and tile placement, demanding planning and adaptation. Are you ready to lead your confederation to intergalactic glory and outmaneuver your rivals in the colonization race?
