RGGA40 The Forgotten Planet Boardgame Rio Grande Games
Players: 2-4
Playing Time: 75 minutes
Ages: 13 and up
Features: The Forgotten Planet is a tile-laying management game in which tiles represent safe areas on a planetary surface on which robots walk and take other actions. These tiles also accumulate energy from the sun, then conduct it to robots, giving them (and the player) more actions if they absorb enough energy, so building and maintaining ownership of these tiles is fundamental in the game strategy. Players and robots use this energy to build new bases, discover mines, build walls to keep out other robots, push those same walls out of the way, produce more robots and much more.
If your robot falls out of contact with tiles you control, however, then it loses power and falls inactive for the round. Control of tiles is determined by the distance from a particular tile to each players closest base, whoever is closest to the tile (with walls serving as barriers that players must walk around while counting distance) controls it, and the more tiles you control, the more energy you have available to you.
Thus, players need to maintain an energy connection for their robots while trying to extend their area of control on the planets surface with their bases. They also need to control mines, of course, as that’s how a player produces new resources, which are subsequently converted into new bases, sold for victory points (VPs) or converted into new robots.
