Tauceti Diechmann's thorough design sits at a unique intersection of simple turn order and complex chains of trading. This refined edition re-implements the gameplay that makes Sidereal Confluence a standout:

Asymmetrical gameplay - Play as one of 9 unique alien species, each with a unique story and playstyle to match
Simultaneous turns - surprisingly little downtime as everyone acts at the same time
Complex trades with simple notation - each converter tells you the approximate value of both inputs and products, helping you negotiate fair trades
Information is open - all resources and technologies are public knowledge.
Almost everything is tradeable - Not just your resources! Planets, ships, technology, future production and more.
Deals are binding - even across turns. If you make a promise during a trade, you must deliver. Cooperation is the key to being the top competitor

Critical acclaim for the first edition:

Shut Up & Sit Down review

"Sidereal creates a virtuous circle - good behavior is rewarded, which creates more good positive behavior that is in turn rewarded…players tend to be so nice that Sidereal is the only game where a player can go "Can I just have this and I'll owe you one?" and you might say "Yeah!" Because a favor is valuable, and that is a really interesting game mechanic."
