The game utilizes an innovative fusion of bag-building, area control and worker placement. It is inspired as a fusion between classic euro games such as Orleans and El Grande and a unique thematic and evolving universe. The game involves immersive worldbuilding and engaging narratives, making it rich on theme.
Play occurs across three cyclical phases: the draw phase, the assign phase and the action phase. Players simultaneously draw workers from their unique embossed bag and assign these workers to jobs on their double layered playerboard. During the action phase players take turns to complete these jobs to perform a large variety of actions to help propel them to victory.
Solar 175 has an innovative end game scoring system which changes based on how the players interact with the game-world.

Once complete, the game is fully replayable and the game-world continues to expand and evolve endlessly. This legacy game does not focus on the destruction of game components but rather on the gradual improvement of them over time. Your best game of Solar 175 will always be the latest one you’ve played!
