Archon Studio has announced the upcoming release of Master of Orion: Ad Astra, a 4X strategy board game based on the well-known Master of Orion PC series.
The game is set to offer players the chance to control one of six races as they explore space, colonize planets, and develop technologies in pursuit of galactic dominance. The game is designed for 1-4 players and includes a solo mode.
The core game will feature more than 280 plastic models, providing a visually detailed experience. Jason Matthews, creator of Twilight Struggle, is serving as a consultant on the project, bringing his experience with strategy games to the development process.
