Beyond Humanity™: Colonies, a hybrid board game by Max Salamonowicz & Paweł Suski.
In Beyond Humanity™: Colonies, players take on the roles of managers of a new settlement built on a distant exoplanet by refugees from a future Earth that is polluted and overpopulated. As a manager, you will propose and vote on new modules to be built, introduce decrees to define the culture and functionality of the colony, carry out planetary exploration and research to obtain valuable artifacts, gather resources, and gain public support from the colonists.
During the game, the app serves as a self-operating data slate that enhances the classic and traditional board game experience. It displays the status of the colony and its citizens and does not require any interaction asides from clicking “next” at the end of turn. Instead, the game gathers information about your actions on its own! Thanks to the CPU built into the central piece of the game, the app recognizes when the new buildings are connected to it and it can recognize smart cards with the RFID technology built into modules.
The project has been crowdfunded in October/November 2019 on Kickstarter. Over 1500 amazing backers supported creation of the game. After a long time in production, finally, first boxes are picked up by the backers in May, 2022.
