About Collision Point, from BoardGameGeek:
Earth is lost, and humanity is forced to abandon its home in search of a new world.
Across the galaxy a catastrophic phenomenon begins to unfold. Planets are being drawn toward each other, colliding and exploding in massive cosmic events. Entire star systems are disappearing.
Yet at the edge of known space scientists discover something impossible.
Two planets, Kepler-186e and Kepler-186f, are colliding but instead of exploding they remain locked together in a fragile and mysterious balance.
At their Collision Point, humanity launches an expedition to investigate.
Early probes reveal an unexpected discovery. The stability between the two worlds appears to be influenced by the native plant and animal life thriving on their surfaces. Somehow these ecosystems play a role in preventing the catastrophic collapse seen across the rest of the galaxy.
You lead a scientific team sent to explore this phenomenon. By exploring the planet, constructing research facilities, and expanding your expedition, you gather vital resources and collect plant and animal species that may hold the key to understanding why these worlds remain stable.
During the game players deploy specialists across the planet, build infrastructure, and complete missions while developing powerful combinations of technologies and research projects.
The game includes 280 unique project cards, allowing players to build their own strategic engine and shape the direction of their expedition.
However the planet itself remains unstable. A shared stability track represents the fragile balance of the environment. If the system collapses the expedition fails and all players lose the game, creating a unique strategic tension where players must decide when to contribute to planetary stability and when to rely on others to do it. This delicate balance often leads to negotiation, calculated risks, and subtle manipulation between players as everyone tries to secure their own victory without pushing the planet toward total collapse.
With hundreds of possible card combinations, evolving strategies, and strong player interaction, every expedition unfolds differently.
Every decision has a cost.
Will your expedition uncover the secrets of these worlds and secure humanity's future
or push the fragile system toward total collapse?
