Afternova*

A nearby solar system has been destroyed by a supernova. It’s time to intervene and extract valuable resources from the unstable planets. Send teams of Hired Paw and negotiate uneasy truces with rivals to secure the best loot.

Players collect victory points by gathering fragments seen on their blueprints to build ship upgrades. The game ends when a player completes six blueprints, with the player holding the most victory points declared the winner. On a turn, players can take three cards from the market or extract fragments from a planet, utilizing a mix of blueprint and Hired Paw cards to achieve their objectives. The essence of the game lies in negotiation during extraction actions, as players often need to collaborate to meet requirements and share rewards.
