Description
The meteor strikes have caused great damage. We’ve gathered as much wreckage as possible so please use the salvage carefully. Complete the primary objective and build the planet that will preserve humanity. Expand your developments onto the Supermoon in case the meteorite hazards get out of hand. Planet Unknown is a polyomino tile-laying game that mixes tile-placement, engine-building, simultaneous play, and resource and rover management for a unique and competitive gameplay experience. Supermoon is the first expansion.
SUPERMOON SUPERPUZZLE
A new decision point has been created. Place your tile on your moon or onto your planet. The moon comes equipped with a 3d satellite mini to help clear meteorites in a unique way. You could even choose to deploy a rover on your moon. Tile selection, tile placement, and meteorite cleanup will be the key to mastering this new puzzle.
EXTENDED GAMEPLAY
The net effect of the Supermoon expansion will be games that take roughly 5 simultaneous turns longer, extending your gameplay from ~65 minutes to ~80 minutes. This extension allows new strategies to emerge and players must challenge existing assumptions about Planet Unknown retain to their winning edge.
SALVAGE TILES
A supply of salvage tiles will be available to each player. Each salvage tile is a split polyomino, salvaged from the recent meteor showers, and always has one resource and one meteorite. Instead of drafting from the S.U.S.A.N., you may choose to place any two of your salvage tiles placing them together or apart.
NEW PLANET AND CORPORATION
With the recent meteor shower, a new corporation has assembled from the wreckage. Mix and match the new planet and corporation content to create even more asymmetric pairings in Planet Unknown.

Quotes (from this video)
- Hey, I'm Alex Radcliffe from Board Game Co, and this is news and week in review.
- So, I definitely be It's definitely worth being aware of that at the very least as you choose how to spend your money on board games and as you choose how to spend your money on Prime.
- Effectively, Spirit Island is something that the rights to a lot of the things are held by Flat River Group, but the right to the game itself, he has.
- I always thought Spirit Island deserved better, you know, better everything kind of just to some extent.
- Because Awaken Realms is one of the fascinating companies. Like they have they are responsible. They get they they kind of moved into the Seeman problem where people love to hate to an extent, but people love to hate they How to put this?
- My own two cents here um is that when a company is successful, they either can be comple- or individuals. Individuals, companies, whoever, they can either be like almost completely pure of heart and then they earn a lot of respect for being completely pure of heart.
- But because they've been so successful, you fall into that range of almost some groups of people will love to hate them even as they continue to put out things that are massively popular and have huge audiences and they're clearly delivering things to people who want those things.
- I think the complaints people do have are legitimate. I think they're often over-magnified because of the success of those companies, and I think those complaints often ignore the very large groups of people who are fans of those companies and enjoy what those companies put out and do not have the same issues you do.
- I cannot get over the fact that I played Eureka over 50 times in like a 2 and 1/2 week period.
- I hope you enjoyed this video and as always, I hope you have a good one.
