STAR SHAPER

The alliance to settle a new home world has...totally collapsed (whoops!).

Now, rival factions are racing to shape the planet’s future, one Terra Tile at a time, each with their own secret agenda.

Choose your side wisely, terraform your tiles cleverly, and try not to ruin another perfectly habitable planet. Our future is in your hands (no pressure).

-Made for Game Off 2024-

Gameplay

Take turns placing Terra Tiles to shape the future of the planet—and your species! Tiles feature Roads, Cities, and Obelisks. Place Terra Tots on tiles to score points throughout the game and at the end. The Terra Tot with the highest score wins (Mama Tot will be so proud!).

Turn Actions

1. Place a Terra Tile to continue the landscape.
2. (Optional) Place a Terra Tot from your supply on a section of the tile you just placed.
3. If your Terra Tile placement completes a feature, it will be scored and Terra Tot(s) will be returned.

Terra Tiles

• Roads: Place a Terra Tot on an unoccupied segment. Completed Roads (both ends closed) score 1 POINT per tile.
• Cities: Place a Terra Tot in an unoccupied City. Completed Cities (all sides closed) score 2 POINTS per tile.
• Obelisks: Place a Terra Tot on an Obelisk. Completed Obelisks (surrounded by tiles on all sides) score 9 POINTS.

*Domination Tip: Link your incomplete Roads or Cities to another player’s if they are connected after Terra Tots have been placed to share points! If you have more Terra Tots on a feature, only you score the points when it’s completed. SUBLIME!

Secret Objectives

Your commanders have secret plans for you! Completing objectives earns extra points and promotes you to the next rank, unlocking even greater rewards. Keep them hidden and prioritize them wisely!

End Game Scoring

• Roads: Incomplete Roads grant 1 POINT per tile.
• Cities: Incomplete Cities grant 1 POINT per tile.
• Obelisks: Incomplete Obelisks grant 1 POINT plus 1 POINT per adjacent tile.

The Terra Tot with the most points wins! May your vision shape the future of our entire species.
