From BoardGameGeek
Exoland is a truly strategic pure balancing game played with calibrated weights. Players take turns in a race to be rid of their "fleet" of varied weights by playing them onto a balancing gameboard into risk-reward zones. Causing a crash or being unable to make a play during the game adds a dangerous penalty piece to the fleet. A concentric "Crash Factor" grid allows players to anticipate the crash risk of any weight placed anywhere. Playing risky moves away from the center of balance can win advantages or eliminate penalties. The game ends once a player has deployed all their spaceships and space junk OR when a player collects 7 of the 8 planets. Play at your own risk!
