Where Science Meets Violence!
Created by Martin Wallace (Brass, Steam) and based on famed WETA Workshops artist and designer Greg Broadmore's Doctor Grordbort series of thrilling, steampunk, pulp-inspired graphic novels, Onward to Venus is set in a retro sci-fi world where planets and moons are waiting to be settled and exploited - however, the local inhabitants might kick up a fuss. Luckily for the Earthling colonists, there is a range of highly useful ray-guns to convince the natives not to be restless!
Designed for boys, girls, and fully grown Humans, players in Onward to Venus take on the role of one of the major Earth-based empires with the intent to gain influence over the planets/moons by building factories and digging mines over three periods. At the start of each period a number of tiles are drawn randomly and placed on the various planets and moons. Players perform actions in turn and continue to do so until all of the cubes from the Pass card have been claimed. At game's end, players will have scored points depending on how much influence they have on each planet/moon.
