What to Expect
You lead a research team in Antarctica after a meteorite strike: build stations, scout the icy landscape and reach the impact site. The game blends expedition planning, resource management and risk-taking in severe temperatures. Publisher description highlights storm-swept journeys, gearing up for expeditions and scientific projects.
Who Is This Game For?
Aimed at experienced hobby players and fans of complex Euro-style designs. With a playtime around 180 minutes and multiple intertwined mechanics, prior experience with engine or deck/bag-building systems is helpful. Solo play is supported.
How It Works
Core systems are Worker Placement and Deck/Bag/Pool Building, supported by Hand Management, Push-Your-Luck moments and End Game Bonuses. You assign workers, gather resources, and develop your card/pool to enable stronger expeditions. Risk decisions during actions balance potential rewards and set up late-game scoring.
What Makes It Special
