About Generation Ship: From Dust to Thrust, from BoardGameGeek:
Explore space and find a new home amongst the stars with your friends in this fast paced game of supply management and card combos. Gather six different resources from your journey between the stars - space dust from comets and asteroids can be turned into liquids and living things, or be mined into ship part and electronics. But most of all, you want to develop that thrust to take you to your new colony!
Build and optimize your decks to trigger special abilities and your starship! Develop your ship with new technologies to receive special upgrades and more resources. Bid your resources to found colonies on distant worlds to get lots of points - but be careful, other players want those points too! Beat your friends by strategically placing and using card resources to get the most points!
You will each be in charge of expanding your spaceship by constructing different Sector cards and building several Tech and Expedition cards on top. Generate and spend Supplies effectively to optimize your sectors and bid on exciting expeditions to obtain the most stars and win.
Sectors are your starting point. Each sector can have up to 5 cards on top and has a special effect that is activated once the matching cards are placed on top.
Tech cards and expeditions are placed on your sectors, there are 6 different card and supply colors. Matching the right color on your sector optimizes them, granting you powerful bonus effects.
After each generation you gain 1 supply per card you placed on your ship.
For example if you have 2 blue liquid cards you generate 2 liquids.
Stars are gained from tech cards, from storing supplies on your sectors and through facedown and faceup tucked cards.
The most stars however are gained from expeditions, these star multipliers can't just be bought, instead players start a bid. The highest bidder receives the expedition.
Whoever has the most stars after 4 generations wins the game!
