Planet B

Our home on Earth is a distant memory and the pain of establishing the first colonies is beginning to fade. We came to this new planet, rich in resources, with the idea of creating a better world, a second chance for humanity and to build a better world... But our greedy nature outweighs good intentions. For those of us who rule, the most important thing is power and money. So to win on Planet B, amass the biggest possible fortune without too many scruples!

Designed by Johannes Natterer, 2 to 4 players, ages 14 and up, can participate in games that last about 40 minutes. In Planet B, players will take on the role of corrupt rulers managing the wealth of a new world, home to humanity. With the goal of amassing as much wealth as possible, players will make unethical deals with corporations and businesses that will bring them profits, bribe the press, build buildings where they will post workers, and compete in a tough electoral race to become President.

As a good politician, you know that you will have to curry favor with large conglomerates if you want to make a career. Therefore, the first action on your turn will be to make a deal with a business group and depending on the chosen company, you can carry out some actions or others. Among the actions that the conglomerates will allow you to do there is the production of resources (which will allow you to obtain plastic, iridium, water, plants, hydrogen, chips or meat); build buildings with cards from your hand (later these buildings will allow you to do extra actions); place a worker (human or robot) on one of your cards to carry out an action and advance on a marker of one of the three factions (capitalists, futurists and traditionalists) that will give you exclusive benefits.

In addition to actions, players will trigger certain actions, such as the news, which may cause the public to view you as an immoral ruler. This will have consequences when the elections are triggered to choose a new president and the rest of the elected positions. Each office has its associated benefits, but those of the presidency are the best. Your decisions will affect the rest of the players!

No matter how greedy you are, throughout the game your actions will have an impact on the mood of the people and that can have negative effects. Balance is the key! At the end of the game, however, there will be no more scruples: you will sell all your resources and earn money that will be converted into victory points. Whoever has the most stands as the winner!

Planet B is a worker placement and management game that fans of combos and action planning will love. With an atmosphere full of ironic humor, this title offers a balance in terms of its difficulty that makes it both accessible to gamers looking for a good challenge and to more casual fans who want to move towards more brainy management games. Explore your most ambitious side and take advantage of Planet B!
