In Crafting the Cosmos, designed by David Gordon and Tam, players take on the roles of interstellar architects. They are tasked with building the galaxy, star system by star system. The mechanics for this game are rooted in real scientific concepts as players will manipulate gravity shifts and time flow to give them advantages via Power cards. They will accumulate victory points for creating stars and additional point for achieving Advanced Life on planets. The player with the most points at the end of the game will win.
