The Planet

Every game is played on a uniquely generated map. It all begins in the center, with your settlement. Every turn, you'll be drawing Trapezoid-Shaped Tiles to place. These non-standard tiles lead to unusual, unique, challenging, and innovative experiences. They drive your expansion as you clear bugs and rocks, remove hives, and construct mines, labs, and turrets to keep your economy growing and safe. But don't forget the power plants to keep it all running.
