Planet Unknown by Strohmann Games is one of the games competing for the title Kennerspiel des Jahres 2023.
In this board game you are planetary explorers!
The earth’s resources are exhausted. As part of the space exploration program, you have been chosen to open up unknown planets and thus secure the future of mankind.
Collect the most medals to win. To do this, efficiently expand your planet, advance on your resource bars, collect escape pods, eliminate meteorites, and hold your own against the planets to your left and right.
The rotating space station (S.U.S.A.N.) is an all-rounder: it lets everyone choose your tiles at the same time, and thanks to it, the game is not only quick to set up, but also neatly tucked away in the box.
Game objective on Planet Unknown:

- By tapping resources – for you to advance on the resource performance

–>> this will give you medals and the one with the most medals wins
