Description

In the world of Broken Planet, the land is on the brink of destruction and the only thing holding it together is the will of the Gods. With resources scarce, tribes must compete in a trial to become the favored tribe, and it's up to you to guide your tribe to victory. As one of 2 to 5 players, you'll take on the role of a scavenging tribe, collecting powerful gemstones on the floating islands of the Broken Planet. Your goal is to gain as much Godly favor as possible, and you'll do this by collecting and strategically using these gemstones. Gameplay is fast-paced and simultaneous, with each player secretly choosing their movement and then revealing their location at the same time. You'll need to pay attention to what gemstones other players need and what they already have in order to predict their next moves and stay ahead. Each round, one player will enter the Offer Phase, where they can discard gemstones to perform special actions like building temples or attacking other players. With a playtime of 45 to 90 minutes, Broken Planet is a game of strategy and deduction that's easy to learn but challenging to master. Will you be able to guide your tribe to victory and become the favored tribe, or will your opponents outmaneuver you? With its unique blend of action, area movement, and betting, Broken Planet is a thrilling game that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat.
