Your time has come. You are a celestial being of nearly unlimited power and obsession and, after eons of waiting, you have finally been called to purpose. A universal eruption has occurred, sending cosmic matter barreling across the void and giving you the chance to create beautiful order from raging chaos. When finished, you will have formed a new galaxy, built according to your own flawless design. But you are not alone. Others have also heard this call of the cosmos and arrived to claim the event for their own destinies. As the universe watches, you must gather interstellar material to craft and shape the perfect galaxy - one composed of star systems that not only satisfy your own ethereal compulsions, but will attract the primordial forces necessary to cultivate life for millennia to come. When the stardust settles, only one creation will be worthy of remembrance - will it be yours? In Cosmology, you and other players compete to draw and place tiles of planetoids, moons, and comets in your own empty voids to create a galaxy of significance, igniting suns to build star systems of color patterns that will attract primordial forces. But you must also fulfill your own private compulsion objectives, which may influence (and limit) your building potential. —description from the publisher
