Asteria: Go Where No 4X Has Gone Before

[DrClick]

It’s been 600 years since humanity has abandoned its home planet. The battle rages between the Green Stars and the Red Guild for universe domination.
 
In Asteria, a strategic card game for 2, you must choose a side with one goal in mind: become the new ruler of the galaxy!
 
Adapted from 4X games (exploit, expand, explore and exterminate), Asteria is played in alternating turns composed of 3 steps: gather resources, use action cards, and conflict and maintenance.
 
“Hold on, you said 4X but there are only 3 steps, the math doesn’t add up”. Well, each action card offers 4 possibilities on each of its sides: exploit is blue, expand is green, explore is purple and exterminate is red. Choosing one side will alter your strategy so make sure to pick the right one at the right time.
 
There, you have it, so whether you choose the Green Stars or the Red Guild, do you have it in you to conquer the universe? There only one way to find out and it is right here:

May thanks to Augusto Rochathe, game designer, and the team at Glyptodon, for allowing us to port this amazing 4X experience to our platform. And there would be no game here without a developer so thanks to andrelmlins for the adaptation to BGA.
 
This game is part of the WINTER OF GAMES 2025 calendar.
That was your Wednesday release.
See you around very soon and until then, take care and play fair…

Thanks for these games, but I would like to request that future games that get fully announced have the rules summary section be filled out. Thank you.

Any chance that a physical copy will be made? Or, is there one that I'm unable to find?

Check the BGG Site. There is a version in Portuguese. They are still looking for publishers in other countries, so this might take some time.

Great game, fun build up and a lot of nuance to be mindful of with the multiple win conditions.
