Description

Kuiperium is a thrilling two-player game set in a science fiction universe where you'll take on the role of a corporation vying to build a dominant space station in the Kuiper asteroid belt. The goal is to mine the newly discovered and highly valuable element known as Kuiperium, and the first to do so will launch towards new frontiers. With a playtime of 30 to 90 minutes, this game is perfect for a fun and challenging evening with a friend. The game mechanics are of normal complexity, making it easy for board game enthusiasts to learn and dive into the action. As you play cards into your tableau, you'll gain abilities and rewards, but beware - every card you play also gives your opponent an opportunity to use a worker placement location, adding a layer of strategy and tension to every decision. You'll need to balance hand management, resource allocation, and a bit of luck to outmaneuver your opponent and climb the discovery track. With its unique blend of push your luck, take that, and worker placement mechanics, Kuiperium is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat as you compete to gain control of the space station and mine the most Kuiperium. Designed by Steve Cassell and Mat Cousineau, and published in 2024, Kuiperium is a must-play for fans of science fiction and competitive board games.
