The game

Exoplanets is a dynamic game for 2–4 players in which you, in conjunction with the other players, direct the processes of planetary system creation. You will make decisions about the distribution of planets, obtained particles (resources), their further use, and the resulting creation and evolution of life. While developing the solar system, you will obtain space tiles which allow you to influence planets and possibly make the game easier for yourself or more difficult for your opponents. Be aware of Black Hole or solar storms! Are you ready to start?

The review

Radho: gameplay and final thoughts.

"One of the nicly looking game we have seen for a while, really silky smooth play and you can teach it very quickly"

How to play

How to win: You win by having the most Creation Points after the star is depleted.

In Exoplanets, players do not execute actions on a board or on specially laid out cards. The game revolves around a Star located in the center, which is the core of the budding planetary system. The game begins with Planets on each of its four sides, which are known to players and which have already been created in the system before the players start their creation process. There are also Space Tiles emanating from all four sides of the Star which are where subsequent Planets will be placed. All activities and decisions you make will have an influence on the entire system, i.e. they shape the conditions in which all players will operate. This means that each decision has consequences and creates various interactions and interdependencies. The gameplay, which in this case is the creation process, goes on until the life-giving star energy is depleted.

Important Notes

Production. It must make a distinction between games printed directly byGiochix or printed by another publisher, that we can be call "indirect".

In the first case we have direct control over the printing procedures and wecan intervene quickly in case of problems, solving and adjusting ifnecessary. In the second case we can only interact with the publisher that prints the game without having the opportunity to act on the production process.

This means that when the games are printed by us, the shipping date thatwe indicated in the draft is fairly safe. Obviously in this case there may bedelays, and this should be taken into account, but we are confident of being able to respect the times given.

In the second case, for "indirect" games, the shipment date is onlyindicative. Unfortunately it can happen that deliveries suffer a delay andthis must be considered before making a purchase. Of course we will inform you immediately if something were to happen.

-> Exoplanets is printed by Board&dice, not by Giochix. It is therefore an "indirect" game.

Contents. Game specifications and contents are indicative and can be changed during final production.

Project pages. Sometime can be there some little variances on the different language project pages on Giochistarter (Italian, French, English, Spanish, German). In that case, refer to the project's English page.

Fairs. It can happens that game shipment is adjacent to a big Fair, like Essen Fair in Germany or Lucca Comics and Games in Italy. Is important to know that we will show/sell the game in these fairs indipendently of campaign participant shipment status. These Fairs are too important and unfortunately is not possible to avoid them without destroying the game's chances to be a success.

Shipments. Depending on the game, we ship by Postal service, insured Postal service or by Courier (UPS/GLS/Bartolini/SDA).

We reserve the right to separate the contents of an order in different shipments or to merge the contents of different orders in the same shipment to improve shipment delivery speed and logistic managment. If that happens, there will not be any additional cost for the customer or right to any refund.

Shipments made by Courier or by insured Postal service can be tracked and are insured. Shipments made by Postal service (not insured) can not be traced and, although it rarely does, it can happen that they are delayed or lost. We recommend to those who want to avoid any problem to use the insured option or an alternative method, if available.

Shipments insurance doesn't cover any external damage to the box.

Please note that we will not reship any game without first having found out what happened to first shipment. This is really easy and fast for the courier option, but can require 1-4 weeks with Postal service.
If the game has not been delivered because of your mistake (wrong address, recipient repeatedly absent, not picking up the package after the passage of the courier, etc.), you will have to pay an additional shipping cost to re-send you the game. This cost will also include the return costs of the game to us. Otherwise, if we made an error, we will send it again to you at our expense. If the game has gone lost without any fault, we will reship it only if you took insurance option or Courier service. 

Please note that Postal service can be really slow in some rare cases. If you want a fast delivery or simply to avoid long waiting use an alternative method. 

If you live out of the European Community, customs taxes could be added. This usually doesn't happen for boardgames. Check your Country's legislation to be sure about that, as this aspect is not a our responsability.

We will no longer accept complaints related to this campaign after 12 months since the date of shipment of the games.
