Solve ‘Star Trek’ Mysteries, Join A Cult, And Much More On Kickstarter Now
This week’s Kickstarter roundup has us joining a cult, rebuilding a spaceship engine, enlisting in Starfleet, and much more!
Reactor Rescue
Reactor Rescue is a game of circuits. Players will start building and try to complete their circuit before the time runs out. And if they succeed, they may just repair their spacecraft and save the day. This is a hands-on, light-up game where players actually feel like they’re doing the work and rebuilding the engine.
Reactor Rescue is a competitive, engine-building strategy board game for 1–4 players, ages 10+, with a unique game mechanic: you build real electronic circuits to win!
Players step into the role of space engineers racing to save the city of Electra. Your spacecraft has malfunctioned mid-mission, and you must repair it by wiring real electronic components — motors, lights, sensors, switches, and dimmers — to fix the broken systems of your spacecraft. The first engineer to fully repair their spacecraft claims the single Reactor Token and wins the game! Every decision matters, every build is real, and every game unfolds differently!

Earth Express & Behind the Lens
This Kickstarter features two beautiful and thoughtful games that focus on the wonder of nature. Either jumpstart and build your own ecosystem, or watch your new world thrive. Or become a nature photographer and try to capture the perfect, award-winning shot.
In Earth Express, players choose a Climate card to jump-start their ecosystem. Each Climate features a unique ability that will trigger in addition to the cards in your tableau.
In Behind the Lens, each photographer will start with one photo in their portfolio. These photos will help players focus their strategy and complete Assignments or Awards.

All True Believers

Solarion: Foundation of Empires
In Solarion you’ll work your way through the galaxy, trying to claim as much as you can. And if somebody else has something good, there may be some strategy and combat. But all’s fair in space.
It is the far future. Newly emergent spacefaring factions have outgrown their star systems. Now, these galactic powers have an eye on new worlds and the acquisition of new star systems to expand their civilizations. Among these new star systems are the converted Solarion planets that provide an energy source 1,000 times more powerful than anyt8ing before.
As each empire vies to secure its interstellar conquest, its desire to propagate at any cost foretells a dark time for the peaceful ancient species on existing planets. Conflict will arise, and destructive events are on the horizon.
Solarion: Foundations of Empires rewards efficiency, punishes meekness, and players are never eliminated.
