In Unyielding Universe, 2-4 players attempt to make long and beautiful lifelines. They achieve this by drawing "Year" cards and then placing them within their lifeline chronologically, either by adding them at the end or replacing them. All the while the Universe will try to make their lives more challenging and complex. "Universe" cards that add a scoring adjustment or a gameplay modifier will be drawn, or "Life Complete" cards will be drawn and wreak havoc on your lifeline, not allowing you to play cards past a certain age. The goal is to score the most points at the end of the round. Scoring factors in the length of your lifeline as well as the quality of your lifeline. Life is challenging and it is up to us to try and make the best of it, even if we must spite the Universe to do so.
