In Andromeda's Edge, you lead a desperate faction seeking to build a new civilization. You begin with only a space station, a few ships, and a handful of resources. Gather resources, claim moons, acquire modules, populate planets and build developments. You will battle opponents and compete with others to ascend the progress tracks: Science, Industry, Commerce, Civilization and Supremacy. Advancement on these tracks is rewarded both during mid-game events and at the conclusion, and is the key to victory. Escalation brings to Andromeda's Edge support for a 5th player, additional player factions and modules, as well as a solo play mode with multiple difficulties and AI opponents. Recommended for 1-5 players, ages 14 and up, duration of 40-200 minutes.
