A galaxy of adventures awaits in Expansive Universe. This is a sandbox adventure card game that has many paths to victory: explore your planet, attempt missions on enemy planets, dominate the galactic core with your armada, or engage in ground combat. Assemble your crew, and build your fleet. Unlimited science fiction stories are contained in Expansive Universe. Each player chooses a faction. Each faction starts with a planet, a spaceship, a location, and the alpha character. The rest of the cards for each faction that is being played get shuffled into the main deck. Every turn, cards from the main deck are auctioned and come right into play when bought. Players can choose whether they want to build a fleet of ships, a crew of space explorers, or maximize gold production. The sandbox style card game features a point system, so players can get points by exploring, doing missions, winning space battles, winning ground combat, or controlling the galactic core. Every game is different. —description from the publisher
