Andromeda’s Edge Base
Behold, Andromeda’s Edge: A dazzling, uncharted region of space at the edge of the Andromeda Galaxy.
In this game, you lead a desperate faction attempting to build a new civilization on the outskirts of Andromeda. You begin with just a space station, a few ships, and a handful of resources. By carefully placing your ships, you’ll gather resources, claim moons, acquire modules to add to your station, populate planets, and build development projects on them. You’ll battle opponents and compete with others to rise through the advancement tracks: Science, Industry, Trade, Civilization, and Supremacy.
During your turn, you either launch a starship or return to your station. Launching sends one of your starships to an area of Andromeda, where you gather resources from planetary systems or perform actions at Alliance bases. If the area is occupied by your opponents or fearsome raiders, you engage in a dice-based battle where Supremacy is at stake, but where strategic manipulation can turn a loss into a reward. Returning to your station allows you to activate your engine, using the modules you’ve acquired to generate energy, gain resources, and perform actions.
Throughout the game, you build your unique faction, construct developments (Observatories, Factories, Space Stations, Cities, and Obelisks), and acquire station modules that advance you on the progression tracks. Progress on the tracks is rewarded during both mid-game events and at the conclusion and is the key to victory.
