Description

In Beta Colony, you're part of a group of refugees who have fled Earth and are trying to establish a new home on a distant planet called Victus. As one of the Directors, your goal is to build a thriving colony and earn the most Confidence Points to become the leader of Victus. You'll collect building materials to construct various colonization pods, such as Defense Stations and Living Quarters, on the planet's terrain. The game uses a unique mechanism combining dice rolling and a rondel, allowing for strategic gameplay that's easy to learn. With 2 to 4 players, each game takes around 40 to 80 minutes to play. You'll take turns rolling dice and using them to move and activate different locations, building pods to gain the confidence of the settlers. With its engaging gameplay and sci-fi theme, Beta Colony is a fun and challenging game for players of all levels.
