Welcome to Voidfall -- a space civilization game of exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination (the classic 4X formula) wrapped in a tight euro-game framework.
You are the leader of a Galactic House, one of the great powers in a galaxy under siege. An existential threat called the Voidborn has been consuming entire star systems, leaving nothing but darkness and Corruption in its wake. Your mission is twofold: push back the Voidborn and build a thriving interstellar empire.
Voidfall is designed by Nigel Buckle and David Turczi, published by Mindclash Games in 2023. It supports 1-4 players and plays in roughly 2 to 4 hours depending on player count. This is a heavy game (complexity 4.6 out of 5), but the rules are logical and interconnected -- once the core systems click, everything flows naturally.
