Overview

Living Planet challenges you to survive on a hostile, ever-changing world. As explorers, players simultaneously select actions to move across the modular board, which expands as you venture further. Each turn, a different player assumes the role of leader, dictating the order in which actions are resolved, adding a layer of strategic depth to your choices.

The core gameplay loop revolves around anticipating your opponents' moves while adapting to the planet's unpredictable nature. Gathering resources, mitigating environmental hazards, and competing for limited opportunities are crucial to your survival and ultimate victory. The simultaneous action selection creates tense moments and requires careful planning, as your best-laid plans can be disrupted by the choices of others.
