Sample of Race to Kepler cards showing different card types

The Premise

The 20 most populous world cities have launched into the cosmos, each racing to claim humanity's new home: Kepler-452b.

Rising temperatures have rendered our planet unlivable, but humanity always finds a way. In the twilight of Earth's habitability, this is humanities greatest challenge yet.

In Race to Kepler, you'll lead one of these ambitious city-states in a high-stakes interstellar competition. Recruit elite crew members, bid for powerful Titans, and generate the energy needed to power your ship. Your mission: be the first to reach and colonize our species' last hope for survival.

Design Goals

Easy to Learn

Beginners can mono-type to one color coded class, but advanced players take advantage of powerful cross-class building combos.

Interactive

Bid for Titan cards, which increases player interaction & reduces the randomness of trade row buying.

Highly Replayable

Create variance from game to game by choosing between one of twenty different City cards, each with unique passive and active abilities.
