Read the full game description

In the game Project Universe, a.k.a. ???????????, you represent an interplanetary carrier that transports freight to space stations. You procure resources for the freight, prepare to launch a rocket, and head for your destination. Once your rocket lifts off, you cannot make any on-Earth actions for the rest of this round, so you have to make elaborate preparations on the ground. Your time is spent whenever you take an action, and you suffer a severe penalty if you overwork beyond your time limit. To win the game, you have to calculate total time spent for on-Earth and in-space actions in order to deliver your freight efficiently, while mitigating penalties. ••• ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? —description from the publisher
