About the Game

In a dying universe, rise through the chaos to build your cult: gather fanatical followers and sci-fi space stuff, and choose your path to ultimate godhood that'll cement your cult's legacy into ETERNITY!

Features

  • Deckbuilding with Symbols: Choose new symbols every turn from a variety of alien factions, unlocking more as you progress.

  • Randomized Turn Grid: Each turn, symbols from your deck are rolled randomly on the hex grid. They then automatically produce METAL, POWER, and FAITH and interact with neighboring symbols.

  • Lock-in Hexagons: If you like where a symbol landed on the grid, spend POWER each turn to keep it locked there.

  • Gain Powerful Relics: Mysterious relics of unknown cosmic origin, these activate every turn and power up your build—but beware the cursed and defective relics!

  • Visit the Tinkerer: Upgrade symbols using METAL,  remove deadweight symbols using FAITH, chat about the end of the universe, and make wacky trades.

  • Face a Variety of Events: Explore the realities of the dying universe, take calculated risks, and make tradeoffs to pivot your build.

  • Choose your Path to Victory: Chart a path through the universe, carefully choosing which alien regions to travel through. Build a deck to emphasize one particular resource or a balance of all three. But be sure to complete your great work quickly, as cursed symbols have begun to appear— heralding the death of the universe...
