Description
In the galaxy, a centuries-long reign of terror by the Intercosmic Dynasty is being challenged by a secretive group of rebels known as the Liberation. This band of resistance fighters is on a mission to gain enough support to overthrow their oppressors before their hidden base is discovered. In Liberation, a game of cat and mouse unfolds as one player takes on the role of the Dynasty, seeking to expand their power and crush the rebellion, while the other player leads the Liberation, using stealth and cunning to disrupt the Dynasty's plans. With a compact deck of just 18 cards, this 30-minute game for two players is a tense, asymmetrical struggle for control of the galaxy. The Dynasty player must occupy and exploit planet cards, while the Liberation player sabotages their opponent's hand and undertakes daring missions to gain support. The fate of the galaxy hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if the Liberation can succeed in their quest for freedom.
