The Colony 2174

What to Expect

In The Colony 2174, you act as a Colony Director settling the harsh planet Fury 1228. You'll gather the rare resource Novinium to build four colony structures: Reactor, Biodome, Portal, and Orbital Station. Managing your resources carefully is crucial to continue building and resupplying. The game combines deck, bag, and pool building with dice rolling, lasting about 45 to 60 minutes.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for players aged 12 and up, The Colony 2174 is a medium-complexity game suited for enthusiasts who enjoy engine-building and resource management. Prior experience with deck or pool building helps but is not mandatory. It supports 2 to 4 players and does not include a solo mode.

How It Works

Players build their colony by collecting Novinium and using it to construct the four required structures. The game uses deck, bag, and pool building mechanics to manage cards and dice rolls, adding strategic depth and randomness. The goal is to be the first to complete all four colony structures before running out of resources or structures.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Quinton Delpeche, The Colony 2174 uniquely blends deck and pool building with dice rolling in a sci-fi setting. Its roughly 60-minute duration sets it apart from longer engine-building games, offering a compact yet strategic experience.

Setting & Atmosphäre

Set in the year 2174 on the barren planet Fury 1228, players act as Colony Directors building settlements using the rare resource Novinium, vital to the economy of the Union of Federated Planets.

Tipp für Einsteiger

Focus on building a stable resource base and plan your moves around completing the four colony structures.
