DESCRIPTION & INSPIRATION

the main goal of this space-themed game is to conquer different planets, gain power, and defeat your opponent as a space explorer/conqueror. The space theme is intended to convey a sense of wonder, exploration, and danger that comes with exploring the vast unknowns of outer space. Owing to that, the design of the game features a space theme inspired hexagonal board, spaceships, home-bases, and engaging gameplay components that make the players feel like they are truly exploring the uncharted expanse of outer space. The game also features components from military warfare such as ambush and alliances.

To implement the concept as a space-themed board game, the game was designed with a board system that allows a hexadirectional movement pattern that allows players to more freely explore different spaces akin to actual space exploration. The game also features a variety of space-infused elements from the board, tokens, and player pieces that add depth to the gameplay experience.

Regarding design and gameplay, the available actions given to the player in this board game include moving their player piece, conquering planets, and engaging in battles to potentially accrue enough power to defeat opponents. Each of these actions is governed by a set of rules that provide structure, fairness, and an element of chance to the game. The final game space was decided based on the need for versatility, novelty, and replayability. The design of the board system also allows for the creation of a different game space every time the game is played, providing a fresh experience each time. Finally, the game space includes different types of planets each with its own unique properties and challenges.
