Planet Unknown (Adam's Apple Games)Following a successful crowdfunding run, Adam’s Apple Games will be releasing Planet Unknown this Fall. In the game, players will aim to terraform and populate uniquely asymmetrical planets in this tile laying game. Planet Unknown is for one to six players, ages 10+, plays in around 60 to 80 minutes, and will carry an MSRP of $79.99 when it arrives in stores this October.

About the game:

Our planet has run out of resources, and we are forced to move. We have discovered a series of planets and sent our rovers to test their environment with the hope of colonization. Our rovers have confirmed 1-6 viable colonization options.

Planet Unknown is a competitive game for 1-6 players in which players attempt to develop the best planet. Each round, each player places one polyomino-shaped, dual-resource tile on their planet. Each resource represents the infrastructure needed to support life on the planet. Every tile placement is important to cover your planet efficiently and also to build up your planet’s engine. After placing the tile, players do two actions associated with the two infrastructure types on the tile. Some tile placements trigger “meteors” that make all planets harder to develop and prevent them from scoring points in the meteor’s row and column.

Planet Unknown innovates on the popular polyomino trend by allowing simultaneous, yet strategic turn-based play via the Lazy S.U.S.A.N. space station in the center of the table.
