About the game
In the Nexum Galaxy "Asteroids" Expansion you will find a greater depth of gameplay in the story and asymmetric features of the Civilizations, with technologies, exploration, new resources, wormholes that will connect us to other Sectors, etc. With this expansion, Nexum Galaxy becomes a 4X game (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate). It also introduces an asymmetry in factions, technology, new resources. It increases replayability by adding new Systems to those included in the base game, as well as Event and AI cards. —description from the publisher

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 Nexum Galaxy: Asteroids is 40–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game.

Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Nexum Galaxy: Asteroids for ages 12 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Nexum Galaxy: Asteroids has a complexity rating of 2.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
