A game of Helios Expanse places you in control of an interstellar civilization, competing for
galactic supremacy against its rivals. You colonize habitable planets,
research technologies, and build a military with which to wage war. The
civilization that colonizes the most planets emerges victorious and
rules the galaxy. Helios Expanse was inspired by a vision to develop a board
game that provided a 4X play experience in under sixty minutes, and the
play experience was crafted to be as satisfying for the traditional 4X
gamer as it is for the casual gamer. This vision drove a specific set of
design goals that would serve as the foundation for the game design.
First and foremost, the game was created around the goal of being
teachable in less than five minutes. This specific goal drove a
streamlined decision tree resulting in simple, but tactical player
choices turn to turn. An emphasis was placed on player interaction to
preserve the game play tension typically associated with a 4X play
experience. Ultimately, this combination of foundational design goals
(along with a few others) led to an action/movement programming game
mechanism that created just the right amount of tension turn-to-turn. At
its core, Helios Expanse is a highly interactive game with simple, but tactical decisions and cohesive, working mechanisms.
