Machines To The Sky

2024·The Moongrel

1 - 4 players
15 - 50 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

The end of the world is near. Governments, scientists, corporations, and other world leaders hastily attempt to build an Ark on which humanity can endure the death of the Earth, migrating out into space. In Machines To The Sky, players manage production engines involving technology, materials, and personnel to contribute to the construction of the Ark Project and preserve the future of the human race! By bidding on critical technologies, you must build and move projects to optimize your resource production, scoring in either your personal projects or your contributions to the Ark. In the end, your goal is to manage the development of groundbreaking technologies so that you can earn the most space on the Ark and carry your name into the stars, the dying Earth fading behind you.
