Planet Unknown

Description

--- "Planet Unknown" is a competitive polyomino-placement game for 1-6 players developing the best colony planet amid resource scarcity. Key mechanics include: - *Polyomino tile placement* Players place one dual-resource, polyomino-shaped tile per round to efficiently cover their planet and build its engine. - *Dual-resource actions* After placement, perform two actions tied to the tile's infrastructure types supporting life. - *Meteor triggers* Certain placements activate meteors, complicating development and blocking scoring in affected rows/columns across all planets. - *Simultaneous strategic turns* Centralized Lazy S.U.S.A.N. enables concurrent yet tactical play. Planet Unknown is a 1-6 player competitive game where players colonize viable planets discovered by rovers after Earth's resources deplete. Each round involves placing a polyomino-shaped tile with two infrastructure resources to optimize planet coverage and engine development. Post-placement, players execute actions for each resource type. Strategic tile choices risk triggering meteors that hinder all planets by preventing points in specific rows and columns, demanding careful planning. It advances polyomino mechanics through the central Lazy S.U.S.A.N. for simultaneous, turn-based strategy. ---
