We are entering the final stretch before the next Kickstarter! The card artwork is done and we only have a few improvements to make for the graphical design plus some work on the new Kickstarter page. I estimate we will launch sometime in late summer. I want to wait until everything is nearly ready before I announce a definitive date though. Full Solo Variant The solo variant I’ve been testing turned out to be better Read more…
A solo variant will now be included with the game (in all versions)! You can download a draft version of the variant rules here: Galactic Era Solo Variant
