2024·Onthewayover

From BoardGameGeek

In this in-hand solitaire mystical space voyage, commune with the stars as you search for a new home for humanity. Choose a star to guide your way, then heed or reject the compelling voices of other stars on your journey. The star card you choose has a goal you must fulfill to find a home for your people. As you travel through the deck, choose between three star cards at a time, each with a number that represents a competing value. Each star card belongs to one of three suits, or sectors, and has two sides that represent heeding or rejecting that star's call. Cards may also have omens that allow you to take paths that you would otherwise miss. Each choice you make is added to the course you chart through the heavens, a fan at the back of the deck, which will guide the remnant of humanity for millennia to come. Each card you do not choose spins to its opposite side, limiting your choices for the next turn. When all star cards have been chosen, flip the course and sort the cards by sector to score and see if you have fulfilled the goal of your guiding star. Lead the way, Starspeaker. The future is in your hands. This game was entered in the 2024 9-Card Nanogame Print and Play Design Contest, where it won several awards: - #2 Most Thematic Game - #2 Best Artwork - #4 Best Grayscale Printed Game - #4 Best Cards-Only Game - #7 Best Overall Game -description from the designer
