STARLOCK

From BoardGameGeek:

Embark on a journey through an ever-changing, player-constructed hexagonal board, where every playthrough presents a fresh set of challenges and opportunities. Set in a post-apocalyptic sci-fi world, players must navigate a brutal landscape. Strategic prowess is paramount, as each movement, resource allocation, and confrontation shapes their fate. The inclusion of impactful cards, representing machines, helpers, and equipment, adds a layer of customization and adaptability to gameplay. Player interaction takes center stage, with alliances and conflicts unfolding against the unforgiving backdrop of this world, where loyalties can shift as swiftly as the desert sands. You are the leader of a group of prisoners. Your goal is to repair a spaceship and escape the planet before the overseers catch on to your plan. But you’re not the only one with this idea. Other prisoners will be trying to do the same thing, and they won’t hesitate to sabotage your efforts if it means they can get off this rock before you do. The race is on, and you have only five days to gather the resources you need, repair your ship, and take off before the overseers catch you. You’ll need to scavenge for parts, negotiate with other prisoners, and fight off any who stand in your way. The task ahead of you is daunting, but you’re not alone. You have your fellow prisoners to rely on, and together, you might just be able to make it off this planet alive. But be warned: this journey is not for the faint of heart. Death lurks around every corner, and every decision you make could mean the difference between life and death. Are you ready to take on the challenge? Can you outsmart and outmaneuver your fellow prisoners to make it off this planet before it’s too late? The clock is ticking, and the fate of your group rests in your hands. —description from the publisher
