Oblivion Galaxy is a game about the economics of trying to escape a dying galaxy, and the hard choices that must be made in desperate situations. In a technologically advanced future, where civilisation has spread across the stars, you lead a powerful Faction of the Milky Way. Your scientists have discovered that the apocalypse approaches as destructive vortices of entropy bear down on the galaxy, tearing whole star systems asunder. You must develop and construct a means to escape the Galaxy before it is too late!

Oblivion Galaxy is a mid-weight worker placement and recall game focused on building an engine, managing resources and time, all while the game board is consumed from the outside in. Players must use their turns effectively, placing their workers to harvest resources and build the infrastructure needed to save their populations. But every time a player recall their workers to use them again, time moves on and more of the available board space is consumed by the Doom! 

There are several different ways of saving people, which award either more points, or are faster and easier to implement - players must balance their desire to score well with saving as many workers as they can before the time runs out! Players using faster strategies can save all their population early, which brings forward the galaxy's Doom, giving players going for higher scoring strategies less time. This creates a tense pivot point in the mid-game where players can choose to go all in on a lower scoring strategy, or hold on to a higher scoring strategy as long as possible to try and squeeze out as many points as they can.

Oblivion Galaxy is currently designed with a space science fiction theme, but the core mechanics could be adapted to other themes with a only few minor tweaks. Some examples might include;

• A Fantasy Realm, with magical constructions being used to escape a creeping corruption.

• Fall of Atlantis type scenario, with parts of the island falling into the sea.
