Greater Than Games has announced a license to produce a version of Board & Dice SC’s Exoplanets for distribution in North America later this year.

In Exoplanets, the first published design by Przemyslaw Swierczynski, challenges players to create a solar system by adding planets and evolving life forms by manipulating the system’s star and the relationships between the planets.  Players earn points through these terraforming efforts, until the eventual demise of the star ends the game.

The game is for 2 - 4 players, ages 12 and up, and plays in about half an hour. It includes 68 board tiles, 40 wooden markers, 56 plastic crystals, 24 cards, 50 game markers, a cloth bag, and rules in English, German, and Polish.  MSRP has not been announced.

Exoplanets was a big hit for Polish publisher Board & Dice, who sold out its initial print run at Spiel in Essen last year.  Greater Than Games will fund its version of the game through Kickstarter, starting in mid-2016
