Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Welcome to Pandorum—a far-far away and unfriendly planet. No life, no breathable atmosphere, but lots of exploitable resources! For three long star cycles, the Galactic Council considered the issue of the planet’s colonization. Meanwhile, four largest space corporations managed to deploy their harvesters—huge construction and production platforms—on the Pandorum’s orbit. Now when the decision has been made, at last, it’s time to start landing on the spotted with calderas planet’s surface! Take command over engineering services, construct production sites, update harvesters, build fortifications, elaborate logistics and infrastructure for the planet. Don’t forget about your rivals: they are wide awake to rob you of your earned Quids—intergalactic currency. Everything you see in Pandorum is of utmost quality: simple rules with deep gameplay, high replayability, excellent components quality. - The game idea belongs to the «Trehgrannik» group - the authors of “Game of Trains” and winners of UK Games Expo Best Card Game 2016 (UK Games Expo Best Card Game); - The cover was designed by Alex Andreev, the well-known artist in the art community (the Roadside Picnic by Sony Pictures, images for Cirque du Soleil, Koo!
