Watch “ULTRAMASSIVE Gameplay Trailer,” a how-to-play guide for ULTRAMASSIVE from Studio Unknown on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Studio Unknown on YouTube:

ULTRAMASSIVE on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studio-unknown/ultramassive In ULTRAMASSIVE, you play as a black hole. Your goal is to become the largest class of black hole known to man: Ultramassive. To do so, you must consume a myriad of other celestial bodies, each with a certain amount of Solar Mass (victory points), which is added to your point total. Absorbing enough Solar Mass causes your black hole to expand, changing the landscape of your board and accelerating your growth. You build your strategy by collecting and exchanging resources for Anomalies which augment how your black hole acquires and consumes matter. Each Anomaly improves your abilities in different ways depending on your chosen trajectory to victory. Action cards, which are used throughout the game as expendable resources, are made more powerful by certain Anomalies. Use potent combinations of Anomalies and action cards to get the upper hand over your opponent. Modeled after skill-trees common in digital RPGs, the Anomalies provide a multitude of approaches to engine building. Additionally, each black hole is equipped with several wormholes which act as bridges across the orbit of your black hole. Use these wormholes as shortcuts to circumvent strategic roadblocks or use them to reinforce your strategy. ULTRAMASSIVE is played over the course of six rounds, with black holes gaining power, abilities, and ever-more points with each round. The black hole with the most Solar Mass at the end of the six rounds wins.

About ULTRAMASSIVE, from BoardGameGeek:

Far beyond the Milky Way Galaxy, in the uncharted depths of space, a black hole looms just outside a vibrant galactic cluster. This black hole is enormous, by all standards of the universe, and entirely ungovernable. But its daunting size and power is not unmatched. Other black holes tear through the expanse, fulfilling their one purpose: consume. Like this looming mass, their consumption leads to growth, and growth leads to power. As they expand, they will inevitably confront one another and adopt strategies for overtaking their unruly adversaries. Ultimately, one black hole will emerge as the most powerful, and more importantly, largest: the "king" of the universe. Or, as the infinitesimally small creatures on Earth call it, ULTRAMASSIVE. In ULTRAMASSIVE, you play as one of these black holes. Your goal is to become the largest class of black hole known to man: Ultramassive. To do so, you must consume a myriad of other celestial bodies, each with a certain amount of Solar Mass (victory points), which is added to your point total. Absorbing enough Solar Mass causes your black hole to expand, changing the landscape of your board and accelerating your growth. Like the black holes in our universe, yours is unique. Amass and exchange your resources for Anomalies which augment how your black hole acquires and consumes matter. Each Anomaly improves your abilities in different ways depending on your chosen trajectory to victory. Bolster your strategy with potent Anomaly combinations to counteract and out-pace your opponents. Modeled after skill-trees common in digital RPGs, the Anomalies provide a multitude of approaches to engine building, especially for those drawn to experimentation. Adding to the tools at your disposal, each black hole is equipped with several wormholes which act as bridges across the vast orbit of your black hole. Wield your wormholes with tact to maximize every opportunity. Opportunist or long-term plotter, speed orbiter or matter behemoth; decide how you will out-consume your opponents to ultimately become the largest entity in existence and claim your title as ULTRAMASSIVE. -description from the designer
