An ancient space gate, left behind by a mysterious alien race, has reopened, and time is of the essence before it closes again. You and other intrepid captains will have the chance to cross this portal into an unexplored sector of the galaxy, where riches and dangers await. Choose your faction – be it the cybernetic Tognath, the fierce Maheri, the eco-conscious Sky-Lords, or the humans of the United Nations Explorer Corps – and embark on missions to accumulate expedition points and impress your superiors. But don't think you'll do it all alone! Once inside, you'll need to recruit the best crew from the locals, build embassies, gather resources, and, of course, return home before the gate closes forever. The game unfolds over 8 intense rounds, where every decision counts. Explore, manage your hand of cards, build your deck, and place your tiles on the hexagonal board to secure victory. Whoever accumulates the most expedition points at the end wins the glory of this stellar expedition! ## FAQ ### What is the average playtime for Stellar Expedition?
