Space Station Phoenix

Ever felt like you were in total control, only to realize your engine is slowly falling apart? That's the brilliant twist in Space Station Phoenix! You play as a representative of the Galactic Council, tasked with building space stations around Earth to observe humanity. But here's the kicker: unlike most engine-builders where you start small and grow, here you start with a massive-looking-but-shrinking-fast fleet of nine-ships and a station hub.

Your ships actually serve as your action spaces. Want to gather resources, explore, or build new station sectors? You'll need-to use your ships. But if you run out of metal for a crucial-build, you can choose to dismantle a ship to get the materials you need. This creates a unique-and-tense-dynamic where your-ability to perform actions actually diminishes as the game progresses. You are essentially trading your-capacity for expansion to actually expand.

You'll-be-competing-for-limited-station-parts-and-alien-residents, all while-watching-the-end-game-conditions-closely. With-highly-variable-set-up-and-dozens-of-different-station-modules, no-two-games-feel-the-same. If you love-worker-placement-with-a-twist-where-your-workers-are-the-very-things-you-are-sacrificing, you are going to love this-one!
