Pandasaurus Games—the board game publishers behind popular games like Machi Koro, Dinosaur Island, and The Mind—is raising funds for a new tabletop adventure that redefines the space race. The Kickstarter campaign for Godspeed has already blasted past its goal of $30,000, and there is still time if you’re interested in the latest offering from the publisher known for immersive experiences and a whole lot of fun.
Godspeed is a worker placement game. Expect between sixty to ninety minutes of playtime to finish a session, and two to five players can clamor for first place as the nations pursue extraterrestrial colonization. This is the 1960s space race in an alternate reality. The moon landing was a spectacle, but astronauts have traveled much further and found an exoplanet with ancient relics. These alien machines are worth everything. The pioneering space cowboys aren’t coming back. They will stay to secure these relics for their country. Whichever one that may be.
Three phases will take place each round—the High Council Phase, the Supply Depot Phase, and the Action Phase. Diplomacy, power, and action all play a part in the efforts to colonize the exoplanet. Whoever wields their influence in the most strategic way will win.
The Kickstarter campaign for Godspeed will end Friday, October 18th at 11:59 PM CDT. If you want to secure a copy and take over the stars for your country, act now.
