Last Outpost

When the explorers discovered Sigma-24, the settlers celebrated the discovery of a seemingly perfect haven. The colony swiftly took shape, with the colony ship repurposed to construct the inaugural city on this promising new world. For decades, the colonies thrived in harmony. However, the idyllic scene shattered during the 30th year, precisely at the arrival solstice. An unseen, unknown gravitational force emerged, tearing the planet asunder beneath their once-stable homes. In the ensuing month, violent earthquakes and tremors ravaged their once-thriving cities and vital infrastructure. Faced with impending doom, the clans rallied for a final, desperate effort to escape. In a race against time, they erected a last outpost within the dwindling stable region of the planet. The colonists feverishly worked to construct a generational colony ship, their lifeline to a new world and a chance at survival. Last Outpost is a simultaneous-play roll-and-write game that combines polyomino colony building, engine building, and tech tree mechanics. Players will permanently mark their player boards as they construct buildings, load evacuation shuttles, progress through tech trees, and manage their in-game economy. —description from the designer
