Drain a dying sun for energy to build an escape Ark, while every bit you take pushes it closer to exploding.
The Sun is dying, and Sol: Last Days of a Star is about squeezing the last energy out of it before it goes supernova. Each player represents a planetary effort to build and power a final Ark that can carry a few survivors into deep space. The cruel part: the only source of that much energy is the Sun itself, and every bit you extract makes it less stable and speeds up the end of your own worlds. You move ships, claim spots, build networks and race the clock. A tight puzzle with a sense of doom, playable from one to five, where greed and survival share the same engine.
Who it's for
You like space themes with a bleak edge and want a tight puzzle with route-building where the pressure rises as you play.
Not for you ifβ¦
You want a cozy or lighthearted game. The tone is grim and the game rewards careful, cold planning.
Vibe's take
Tense and elegant. Every action feels a bit dangerous, because you are using the star that is about to destroy you.
