About the game
APS is a PvP/Coop, dial-driven, asymmetric, deck based game about space domination. The game offers dynamic gameplay and 4 races with unique play styles, and Coop "boss-fight" mode. Within the endless void only a few planets are capable of supporting life. All of them are home to intelligent species. It is stranger still that they all reached the space age at the same time. There can be no mutual understanding between intelligent species from different planets. We are all aggressive by nature. Our only common ground is the struggle for survival and expansion – our fight for a Place in the Sun! Features: • Interconnected Dial / Deck management: variable actions each turn depending on the Dial position. • Distinctive and thematic asymmetric decks and abilities for each Planet. • Replayability and variety thanks to the Solar Boards/Planetary Dials/Expansion combinations. • Feeling of theme and immersion. • Great artwork. • Competitive Mode: 2-4 players; Coop Mode: 1-4 players. • Duration 15-20 min. per player.
