What is Ad Astra
Humans have evolved into five different races, each of them adapted to life in different planetary conditions. Guide one of the five human factions in its exploration of the galaxy, while exploiting resources, terraforming planets and creating advanced space colonies. You may even find artifacts of a long-lost alien civilization and use them to your advantage.
A game round consists of three phases: planning phase, action phase and end of round. During the planning phase, action cards are placed face-down on any empty space of a shared planning board. When all spaces on the board have been filled, the action phase begins. In sequence, each card is revealed and all players may carry out the corresponding action. At the end of round, the action cards are returned to the players' hands and a new round begins.
The available actions are:

What the community says about Ad Astra
Fantástico juego de estrategia espacial, de gestión de acciones. Con 6 tipos de recursos, contrucción de naves para explorar planetas boca abajo en difrentes sistemas, consigues un solo recurso por planeta o descubrir un planeta alienígena que te da una carta de tecnología alienígena especial, contrucción de colonias, fábricas para extraer recursos, y terraformaciones para darte puntos directos. Los jugadores alternan boca abajo las cartas de acciones en un tablero de planificación y puntuas extra si consigues destacar en alguna categoría en el momento exacto. No entiendo cómo no se habla más
Some similarities with Catan. Not very interesting.
