Andromeda's Edge

In Andromeda’s Edge, you lead an asymmetrical faction competing to colonize a dangerous galaxy. This spiritual successor to Dwellings of Eldervale blends worker placement with engine building. Your "workers" are upgradable starships that you launch to hex-based regions to gather resources, claim moons, or build planetary developments. The game centers on "Return to Station" turns, where you recall your fleet to activate a custom engine of modules. Strategy revolves around climbing five progress tracks (Science, Industry, Commerce, Civilization, and Supremacy) while navigating dice-driven combat against rivals and marauding raiders. The player with the most victory points wins.
