Overview

In New Frontiers, players compete to develop the most prosperous galactic empire. Each round, players secretly and simultaneously select one of several roles. These roles then determine the actions available to all players that round, with the player who chose the role getting a special bonus. You'll be exploring new worlds, developing technologies, settling planets, producing goods, and shipping them to create a powerful economic engine.
