IDW Games and Pandasaurus Games will release StarFall in November.
Designed by Scott Almes (Tiny Epic Kingdoms, Fleet, Tiny Epic Westerns), players are prestigious astronomers observing the night sky and competing to discover and elaborate formations in the sky. Players bid on undiscovered interstellar objects, and each action leads to a different economic path.
“StarFall is likely the most elegant game I've designed so far,” said Almes. “The rules are dead simple and can be taught in five minutes. However, each decision you make is going to be hard. Those simple actions turn out not to be so simple after all. The beauty of the game really comes out as you see how the game's economy unfolds through resource scarcity and player brinkmanship. I'm very proud of this streamlined yet intense little euro game.”
The game is for 2 – 4 players and plays in 30 minutes. MSRP was not announced.
