About the game
The space conquest no longer serves the sole political motivation. For several decades, a private spaceflight industry has emerged, operating independently of governments. Develop spaceflight faster, cheaper, meet commercial challenges, this new movement is the New Space. And it’s in the shoes of a CEO that you’re going to develop your own rocket, and maybe win this new age of space entrepreneurship. Several tasks will await you, recruit Engineers, develop Technologies, and build your rocket in the hope to launch this mass of several tons over 100km from the ground, beyond the Earth's atmosphere. Conquering the sky will require time, careful management by your engineers and the funds invested in this project. You will also have to keep an eye on your opponents, who will do everything to achieve this feat before you. Apogee is a management card game, with an emphasis on fluidity and interaction between players. All participants are always in action and focused on the game's progress. —description from the publisher
Questions and answers
Apogee supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Apogee is 45–60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Apogee for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Apogee has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
