Fermi's Paradox

Description

All life on Earth is facing extinction due to growing waves of cosmic storms at the galactic core emitting gamma radiation throughout the galaxy. To save humanity, you must build a massive space station to protect Earth from the gamma radiation. During the game, you will send out probes and ships to explore and defend the solar system. Each planet or large body has approach and departure arrow movement paths. Your ships move along these paths as they travel to and from each destination. To build this station, and perform other tasks, you begin with a limited number of workers. Depending on where you place them, the storm has a chance of eliminating your workers each turn. If all your workers are eliminating, you lose. Each turn, you assign your Workers to various tasks to gain Resource Points. You spend these Resource Points to buy various assets like Probes, Warships, Transports, etc. You also assign Workers to building the space station, installing, and activating, its power cores. As the turns pass, the galactic storm will gain in intensity until life in the solar system becomes impossible. You must activate the station before all your Workers are eliminated to win the game. —description from the publisher
