This listing is for the Ark level Kickstarter pledge. This is a preorder. The game is expected to ship January 2024. Details: In addition to a reprint of the original Sol: Last Days of a Star, this pledge level includes a custom laser-cut wooden insert which organizes all of the components into helpful compartments you can handle independently of the others. Slots for each suit make building the instability deck straightforward, and passing out and drawing the pieces for each player is a satisfying experience. Premise & Mythos: Sol: Last Days of a Star is a game of solar destruction and salvation for 1-5 players. Each player controls one of the worlds surrounding a star facing annihilation. For centuries these worlds have been living in utopia, fed by the seemingly boundless energy drawn from their star through a lattice of solar harvesting infrastructure. Suddenly this infrastructure is destroyed and their worlds are cast into darkness, their inhabitants facing imminent extinction. Amidst the clamor, each world has built an Ark housing some small fraction of their population. Each Ark is now waiting at the edge of the solar system for the energy required to attain escape velocity before the final devastation hits. Unfortunately, the only possible source of such a great deal of energy is the dying star itself. In the game, each player will be launching sundivers to rebuild just enough of the lost solar infrastructure needed to harvest and transmit energy back to their waiting Arks. In a final twist of irony, the process of extracting this energy will further compound the solar instability and hasten their Sun's ultimate demise.
