Exoplanets: Gravity is an expansion for Exoplanets released in 2015 for 2–4 players and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Filip Głowacz and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Area Majority / Influence, and Tile Placement.
Expansion: Gravity includes 1 new "Special Effect" tile, Gravity, which allows you to negate the effects of Space tiles underneath "Planet" tiles in Exoplanets. The included black “crystals” act as a “wild” resource when creating life.
Exoplanets: Gravity supports 2–4 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 catalogue lists Exoplanets: Gravity for ages 8 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.
Exoplanets: Gravity has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light 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.

The catalogue lists Exoplanets: Gravity as an expansion for Exoplanets. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Exoplanets to use it. Check that your edition of Exoplanets is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
