Complex, cerebral, endlessly variable.

About this game

Terraform planets, build structures, and expand your faction across the galaxy β€” all while fourteen completely different races play by different rules. The variable setup alone gives hundreds of distinct games. Brutally complex and richly rewarding, it's Terra Mystica in space and then some.
