Description
Beyond the Sun is a space civilization game in which players collectivelydecide the technological progress of humankind at the dawn of the SpacefaringEra, while competing against each other to be the leading faction in economicdevelopment, science, and galactic influence.
The game is played over a variable number of rounds until a number ofgame-end achievements are collectively claimed by the players. The winner is thefaction with the most victory points, which are obtained by researchingtechnologies, improving their economy, controlling and colonizing systems, andcompleting various achievements and events throughout the game.
On a turn, a player moves their action pawn to an empty action space, andthen takes that action. They then conduct their production phase, eitherproducing ore, growing their population, or trading one of those resources foranother. Finally, they can claim up to one achievement, if possible.
As players take action, they research new technologies that come in fourlevels. Each technology is one of four types (scientific, economic, military,commercial), and higher-level technologies must match one of the types of techthat lead into it. Thus, players create their own technology tree in each game,using these actions to increase their military strength, jump to differenthabitable exoplanetary systems, colonize those systems, boost their resourceproduction, develop android tech that allows growth without population,and more.
