Pollux: Ascendancy

Pollux: Ascendancy is a competitive strategy game of expansion, diplomacy, and ambition set in the Pollux system. Players lead rising powers seeking to establish dominance through careful resource management, strategic development, and calculated interaction with their rivals. Throughout the game, players will expand their influence, develop powerful capabilities, and pursue opportunities that shape the balance of power. Every decision contributes to a growing engine of economic, political, and strategic strength, but only the most adaptable leader will be able to navigate shifting circumstances and seize the greatest rewards. As alliances form and fracture, fortunes rise and fall, and long-term plans collide with immediate opportunities, players must determine how best to transform their fledgling faction into the preeminent power of the system. When the final round ends, the player who has accumulated the most prestige and influence claims ascendancy and secures their place in the history of Pollux. —description from the publisher
