The year is 3042, and humanity is ready to explore the stars. Scientists have been studying the nearby celestial bodies for centuries, and they have identified the best candidates for human habitation. At long last, the nations of Earth have the technology to reach the stars. A peaceful competition has begun as they send their starships into the cosmos. In the end, all of humanity will win, but which nation will be remembered as the greatest pioneers?
Kepler-3042 is a game of exploration and colonization. You must carefully manage your resources as you colonize, expoloit, and terraform the planets of the Milky Way, developing critical technologies as you go. Each round, you must choose which action to perform and which bonuses to activate to further your goals.
Kepler-3042 combines the classic mechanisms of resource management with an innovative concept: you have a limited quantity of resources - energy, matter, and antimatter - and to take additional actions and speed up your strategy, you must burn some of them forever. It's risky, but might be just what you need to win the game!
