❤ Game Modes and Scenarios

The game offers several distinct scenarios for players to explore. In the primary "Alone in Space" mode, players build a space-themed base, gather resources, and defend against enemies - with a rogue-like twist that challenges them to progress as far as possible before their base is overrun. The "Daily Challenge" mode presents randomized goals and restrictions each day, while the included "Stacks: Village" mode provides a fantasy-themed experience.

❤ Card Crafting and Deck Building

At the core of the gameplay, players acquire new cards by purchasing booster packs and then discover crafting recipes by stacking compatible cards together. This allows them to create a wide variety of structures, units, and other items to aid their space-faring endeavors. Carefully curating a robust deck of cards is essential, as players must balance their available resources when deciding which items to craft.

❤ Combat and Exploration

The game features both melee and ranged combat units. Players can position these units strategically, with melee units engaging enemies directly and ranged units providing support from a distance. Combat adds depth, as players must balance offense, defense, and resource management. Beyond base defense, players can venture out to explore diverse locations, including alien planets and space stations. These exploration missions present new challenges and opportunities to acquire resources, encounter enemies, and uncover new crafting recipes.

❤ Customization and Progression

As players progress, they can unlock and upgrade various attributes for their "astronauts/settlers", such as strength, agility, endurance, and intelligence. This character progression system allows for tailoring units to suit the player's playstyle and the challenges they face. Furthermore, the game's robust modding support enables players to create and add their own custom content, including new cards, recipes, scenarios, and even entirely new games. This high degree of customization and flexibility is a major selling point for many players.
