Board Game - Ceres

2219 year. For a whole century, Mars has been an extraterrestrial colony of humanity. Here is the Assembly of Corporations for Asteroid Development (ACAD) and other organizations that regulate the extraction of minerals from asteroids. The epicenter of the industry in the chaotic asteroid belt, also known as the main belt, has become the dwarf planet Ceres. 

Discover the expanses of Ceres – a cold remote colony where you, as the head of a space mining corporation, are responsible for extracting minerals from the main belt and trading with incoming cargo ships. While you strive for superiority, the thriving settlement and the influential ACAD Council require your strategic foresight. Personal contributions to the development of the colony and a place in the Council will strengthen your position among the respected leaders of Ceres, proving that power is not limited to merely dominating resources.

«Ceres» is a space strategy game in which you will attempt to become the most successful corporation! With the help of common and personal workers, you will methodically develop your production, earn money and influence for it, send probes to explore nearby and distant asteroids, conduct research, and implement programs for planetary colonization. By building and upgrading stations, you will create unique production chains, making each of your games unique.

The game lasts for 3 rounds. Each round begins with the rotation of the main belt, and players receive resources from all their stations and the asteroids they occupy. During the round, you make moves by activating your corporation's station using a worker or placing one of your leader tokens in a location. The round will end when all participants pass.

Throughout the game, you will develop your corporation in various ways: building new stations or upgrading existing ones to increase the number of actions; developing research programs for effective corporation growth; occupying asteroids with mining probes and completing new colonization projects. Your influence in the ACAD Council is also important, as there you can gain valuable assistance.

A player's success is measured in victory points, symbolizing the value of their corporation. Victory points can be earned in several ways: building objects, launching mining probes, developing research programs, completing colonization projects, receiving credits and influence in the ACAD Council. The participant whose corporation earns the most VP by the end of the game wins.
