Game overview

Kepler-3042 is a celebrated resource management Eurogame; it has a great score on Boardgamegeek and its reprint has been long awaited by fan and distributors.
The theme of space exploration is very topical at the moment making this the right time for the game to shine again.

 

Kepler-3042 drives Players to use at best their tactical and strategic skills:

  • PLANNING IS KEY – explore our Galaxy, terraform suitable planets, improve technologies; many different strategies are possible and each game is a different experience.
  • EVERY ACTION COUNTS – 16 turns, 16 actions, you cannot waste any moves; the game core is to try and perform powerful combo moves by activating special effects and gaining results from every action.
  • MANAGE WISELY – simulating a real life scenario, your resource pool is limited and can only contain 7 Matter, 7 Energy and 3 Antimatter; think carefully about the value of your resources: you will need to burn a few of them, losing them for good, in order to gain bonus actions; each small cube is indispensable and even the smallest effect could be crucial to victory

There’s more! 

  • SOLO MODE: the Solo campaign consists of 20 levels and offers a complete and satisfying game experience.
  • PEACEFUL COMPETITION: each of the Players moves affects the overall context of the game, influencing all other players, but there are no direct attacks and no possibility of (and no need to) being mean to others.
  • FEASIBLE SCENARIO: enjoy the Scientific section of the rulebook, explaining astronomical and technological aspects of the game, envisioning a future of peace and cooperation.
