About the game
In the XXII century, mankind has colonized the Solar System, and there are habitable colonies on the Moon, on Mars, and at the largest satellites of gas giants. It's time to conquer the constellation of Cassiopeia. Several expeditions are heading there, and each player leads one of them. In Cassiopeia, you have the best specialists at your service: from programmers and cybernetists to smugglers and pirates. With their help, you will be deploying satellites over the planets, building enormous complexes, and sending your cruises and barges to flight — and you will be doing all that to be the first to terraform seven planets and pave the path to a brighter future of the galaxy! All cards are double-sided and during the game, they are all placed on the table and visible to everyone. The players flip the cards over to resolve their various effects and to terraform their own planets.

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 Cassiopeia is 30–45 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 Cassiopeia for ages 12 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.
Cassiopeia has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
