Space Station Phoenix is a game where you will place workers and manage resources. It takes place in one of the possible futures of Earth. The players are representatives of the Galactic Council, and they have been sent to Earth to build space stations to observe and perhaps communicate with humanity.
Players start the game with nine ships and a station hub. These ships act as action spaces that players use to gather resources, explore the nearby planets, and build their stations.
In many games, players start with a small resource engine that they build up to a larger one. In Space Station Phoenix, players start with the best production engine they'll ever have and start tearing it down part by part. As the game progresses, their actions become more efficient, but the number of ways to perform those actions begins to decrease.
