Description
Andromeda's Edge: a glittering, uncharted region of space on the edge of the Andromeda galaxy. Strewn with the modular remnants of a precursor civilisation, patrolled by malevolent extragalactic invaders and fringed by dense nebulae, The Edge is the last chance for the brave and the foolish seeking a new life beyond the oppressive reach of the Lords of Unity.In this game you lead a desperate faction seeking to build a new civilisation on Andromeda's Edge. You start with only a space station, a few ships and a handful of resources. By carefully placing your ships, you will gather resources, claim moons, acquire modules to add to your station, settle planets and build developments on them. You will fight your opponents and compete with others to advance in various categories: science, industry, trade, civilisation and supremacy.On your turn, you either launch a starship or recall your ships to your station. Launching sends one of your starships into a region of Andromeda, where it gathers resources from planetary systems or takes actions at alliance bases. If the region is occupied by your opponents or the dreaded invaders, you face off in a dice battle where Supremacy is at stake, but where strategic manipulation can turn a loss into a reward. Recalling to your station lets you activate your engine, using the modules you have acquired to generate energy, gain resources and take actions.Throughout the game you will build up your unique faction, construct developments (observatories, factories, spaceports, cities and obelisks) and acquire station modules that move you along the progress tracks. Advancing on the tracks is rewarded during mid-game and end-game events and is the key to victory.
