Kepler 3042, a celebrated resource management Eurogame, takes us to the stars, between resource management and true science!

The year is 3042, and humanity is ready to explore the stars. The most interesting celestial bodies nearby have been studied for centuries, and the best candidates for exploration and colonization have been identified. At long last, the Nations of the Earth have the technology to reach them. A peaceful competition has begun as they send their starships into the cosmos. 

Kepler 3042 is a game of exploration and colonization. Players must carefully manage their Resources as they colonize, exploit, and terraform the Planets of the Milky Way, developing critical Technologies as they go. Each round, you must choose which action to perform and which bonuses to activate to further your goals. The Nation with the most Victory Points at the end will be remembered by history as the greatest explorers in the galaxy!

Kepler 3042 drives Players to use at best their tactical and strategic skills:
PLANNING IS KEY – explore our Galaxy, terraform suitable planets, improve technologies; many different strategies are possible and each game is a different experience.
EVERY ACTION COUNTS – 16 turns, 16 actions, you cannot waste any moves; the game core is to try and perform powerful combo moves by activating special effects and gaining results from every action.
MANAGE WISELY – simulating a real life scenario, your resource pool is limited and can only contain 7 Matter, 7 Energy and 3 Antimatter; think carefully about the value of your resources: you will need to burn a few of them, losing them for good, in order to gain bonus actions; each small cube is indispensable and even the smallest effect could be crucial to victory.
SOLO MODE (20 levels): the Solo campaign consists of 20 levels and offers a complete and satisfying game experience.
PEACEFUL COMPETITION: each of the Players moves affects the overall context of the game, influencing all other players, but there are no direct attacks and no possibility of (and no need to) being mean to others.
FEASIBLE SCENARIO: enjoy the Scientific section of the rulebook, explaining astronomical and technological aspects of the game, envisioning a future of peace and cooperation.
