Seeker Chronicles | Overview at Gen Con

About Seeker Chronicles, from BoardGameGeek:

The year is 2043, and humanity has made significant strides in science and technology. Above all, the S.E.E.K.E.R. program has fueled a revolution in science, through the use of specialized machines that empower research. However, this invention has merely reinforced the growing need for a deeper understanding of our universe. To meet this need, a new groundbreaking sport has emerged: You are an elite scientist, leading a team of Seekers in a high-stakes competition to achieve new breakthroughs. Step into the arena and face off in an epic race to expand the human knowledge. Besides its theme, what makes Seeker Chronicles so special is its resource management system, where every card is a resource but only until you use its powers. To win the game, you will need to find the best balance between how much you can do and how strong you are on the board. This gives rise to a wealth of strategy that is unique to this game. -description from the designer
