Description

Our home planet has been destroyed. In a desperate search for a new home we landed on Planet 5X. It's a desert place, water is scarce and we're not the only ones who got here. We will have to compete with the other clans to supply ourselves. Digging for wells, we discovered something amazing: technologies from an ancient civilization abound on the planet. These are ingenious constructions that will improve our skills and help us gain victory. Expedition to 5X is a 15 round game. In each round we will have to choose one of the 5 available actions: we can explore the territory, exploit the water of the oases, exterminate other clans, expand our options or excavate ancient technologies. Choosing the precise moment to execute each of the actions and reading what the opponents will do is key to winning. Throughout the game we will challenge each other to obtain access to different technologies that will improve our basic actions. These will also give us victory points, but to win the game, we will have to carefully choose the ones for which we will fight, in addition to sacrificing some of the improvements that they offer us. -description from publisher
