Via Nebula

Discover Via Nebula, a game that combines strategy and collaboration in a world shrouded in mist. Here, you take on the role of a builder who must explore and harvest vital resources such as wood, stone, wheat and pigs, while working to dispel the mists enveloping the valley. The real challenge lies in balancing cooperation with other players and your own progress. The game takes place on a hexagonal board, where production areas and building sites are crucial to your strategy. Each player starts with two contracts that need to be fulfilled in order to erect new structures. However, the competition intensifies with the offer of four new contracts available to everyone, creating moments of tension and quick decisions. The game ends as soon as a player completes their fifth building, leading to a point count that takes into account not only the number of hexagons cleared, but also the strategy of using the production sites and the value of the contracts won. With a bonus for those who finish first, the adrenaline rush is guaranteed until the very last move. Via Nebula is not just about building, but also about establishing temporary relationships and strategic alliances, making each match unique and engaging. Get ready to be challenged and rewarded in this exciting universe of collaboration and competition!

GAME mechanics

• Building Networks and Routes - In Via Nebula, players use networks and routes to connect resource fields to cities. This mechanic is crucial, as each player must consider the efficiency of these connections to minimize wasted actions. The key is to exploit the fog, making way for new routes while trying to block or slow down your opponents' progress. Deciding which areas to clear from the fog can determine the pace of the game and the opportunities to reach valuable resources.
• Pick up and Delivery - Another fundamental element of the game is the collection and delivery of resources. During the turn, players move their meeples to take resources from the fields and deliver them to the construction sites in their cities. Each action must be carefully planned to ensure that the right resources are delivered in the right orders. Efficiency in planning these deliveries can mean the difference between completing a project on time or seeing an opponent steal your advantage. Maximizing the use of the limited actions available is the secret to success.
