About the game

What is Planet Unknown

Planet Unknown is a competitive game for 1-6 players in which players attempt to develop the best planet. Each round, each player places one polyomino-shaped, dual-resource tile on their planet. Each resource represents the infrastructure needed to support life on the planet. Every tile placement is important to cover your planet efficiently and also to build up your planet's engine. After placing the tile, players do two actions associated with the two infrastructure types on the tile. Some tile placements trigger "meteors" that make all planets harder to develop and prevent them from scoring points in the meteor's row and column.

Planet Unknown innovates on the popular polyomino trend by allowing simultaneous, yet strategic turn-based play via the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station in the center of the table.

Очень хорошее, жирное полимино про космос. Есть спортивный режим, есть ассиметрия.

Juego de colocación de polinomios muy interesante. Muchas formas de conseguir puntos y bastantes cosas a tener en cuenta. Objetivos personales, comunes, mazos de eventos, etc..Multisolitario que se juega a la vez lo que hace que el juego vuele. Es bastante rejugable ya que traer muchos mapas y corporaciones diferentes. El modo solitario está bastante bien y es rápido de jugar. Lo único engorroso es la preparación del mismo y tener que mezclar las fichas...pero si te ayudan, es más rápido.
