About the game
Home on Lagrange is a strategic card game set on the high frontier of outer space. As Admirals, players compete with one another to construct fully functional space stations, built from an assortment of modules, which are yours to fill with a wide array of inhabitants, technologies, and other unknown curiosities. Will your station be a bastion of education, where technological advancement is strived for daily, or a recreational stronghold, where the late night get down reigns supreme? It's up to you to choose your own space adventure! Your adventure’s outcome is determined by your choices throughout the game. Special abilities are rewarded to clever Admirals with certain combinations of modules. But there is only one way to find out how effective of an Admiral you really are! By consulting the Admiral's Log at the end of the game, you’ll find out just how useful it was to boogie the night away on your station, and finally determine which player triumphed and successfully made their Home on Lagrange. —description from the publisher
