Plan Core: Pathfinder is a strategy game designed and published by C.O.R.E Lab. In the year 2131, due to the exhaustion of resources on the earth, human beings have to seek settlement on other planets than the earth in the solar system. There has been a kind of special resource named "core" (as it is exploited from the earth core), which is of great use in the process of seeking settlement, so the UN releases the plan "core". In this plan, players represent giant companies of space science & technology, sending airships to explore, exploit and finally settle on planets of the solar system. The game lasts for several rounds, with each round composed of a Plan Phase and a Implementation Phase. At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points is the best space settler, that is to say, the winner of the game. Plan Core is a series of strategic board games, and Pathfinder is the first game in this series. —description from the publisher
