About the game
The Artemis Odyssey begins many generations after the events of The Artemis Project. Using the alien relics found deep in the oceans of the frozen moon Europa as a technological springboard, humankind has become quickly capable of reaching out to the distant stars...and to the mysterious orbiting planets. Build powerful starships to cross the vast emptiness of interstellar space, land on uninhabited planets to find valuable resources. Establish your presence with colonies, factories, mighty terraformers. With luck you may even unearth more alien tech. Your exploration is accomplished through a clever system of hidden planning on a shared board. When the planning board is full, it is resolved in sequence…with all players benefiting from each others’ plans! By anticipating what your opponents want to do next, where they want to go, and how they want to score, you’ll be able to squeeze the most out of your efforts, and ensure that your faction builds the greatest star-spanning network of them all! Get ready to blaze a trail deep into the frontiers of the galaxy…The Artemis Odyssey begins now!

Questions and answers
The Artemis Odyssey 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 The Artemis Odyssey is 60–90 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 The Artemis Odyssey for ages 13 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.
The Artemis Odyssey has a complexity rating of 2.9 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.
