Our planet has run out of resources, and we are forced to move. We have discovered a series of planets and sent our rovers to test their environment with the hope of colonization. Our rovers have confirmed 1-6 viable colonization options. Planet Unknown is a competitive game for 1-6 players where players build and develop the best planet to win!

Each player has a goal of developing the best planet in Planet Unknown. Each round, each player will place one dual resourced tile on their planet, which is a polyomino shape. 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. Be careful because some tile placements will trigger "meteors" that make all planets harder to develop and prevent it from scoring points in its 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. The game also condenses a 3-hour medium weight game into about 70 minutes for 1-6 players no matter the player count.
Curious how we do it, follow along until launch!

An awesome tetris game for casual and hardcore gamers alike.

Learning the game is super easy. Place a tile, move 2 resource tracks.

Each player can choose the default planet or corporation board or flip them to the more complex asymmetric sides. Due to this, you can have 2 people playing a more casual simple game, 2 players playing a medium game and 2 players playing full asymmetric board/planet combos at the same time. I chose this due to wide appeal, great production value and functional gimmick of the lazy suzan.

Playing the game can be really wacky almost like a party game if you play with the optional Event cards but, this is to your own tastes whether you include them or not.

Just note the game doesnt store well when shelved vertically since there is no "cover" for the lazy susan so pieces fall out everywhere in the box. I made my own cover and even though its not perfect, its much better than pieces falling everywhere. (Just note this isnt really a major problem, just a little annoyance that I think is worth it - or you just store the box flat lol)

Lots of fun and great for heavier gamers and lighter gamers alike

This game was a lot of fun for myself (who plays numerous games and heavier games) plus it was a great deal of fun for my wife and kids (who generally trend towards lighter games). A bit more going on than a basic polyomino game but not overwhelming.
