Description

The colonization ship, SP4X has landed at its destination, the planet Blk_pt-4.x. The Original plan was that the four factions onboard the ship should handle their specialties in building a new civilization, but something went wrong. Maybe it was the AI that sowed the strife, maybe just wicked ambition. Now, they all fight to make the greatest mark on the new culture. SP4X is a mix of the children’s game, Black Peter and a modern 4X.

You know your culture is superior, You know, because the Mothership AI have whispered just that, while you slept on your way to planet Blk_Pt-4.x. Now, It’s time to colonize! It is the time to show those degenerates that your gene-pool is superior.

SP4X is a mash-up between the children’s game Black Peter, and an 4x game, in the setting of an alien world.

Your turn is very simple: Draw a card from an opponent and either play a pair of the same cards for a powerful action, in which you score Victory Points based on your board state (the pair is discarded from play), or show a card to do a lesser version, but draw another card, which builds up for stronger turns later. The actions are from the genre of 4x: Move and Explore, Exploit, Build, Populate or wage war. Getting help from the nefarious Mothership AI, grants you powerful actions, but don’t get caught with it at the end of an age, or it will cost you.

Now, your opponents will know which card you stole from them, which cards others have revealed, and they in turn will steal and reveal. You’ll be kept constantly engaged.

After two ages, the game ends, and the player with the most VP’s takes the game, reflecting their cultures’ superiority.

Duration: 1.5 hour

Generationsskibet SP4X er landet på dens destination, planeten Blk_pt-4.x. Planen var egentlig at skibets fire fraktioner skulle stå for hver deres del i opbygningen af en ny civilisation, men noget gik galt. Måske var det AI’en der såede splid, måske bare dårlig planlægning. Nu kæmper de hver især for at tegne kulturen på den nye planet. SP4x er en blanding af børnespillet Sorteper, og et 4x Lite.

SP4X er nemt at gå til og nemt at komme i gang med. Efter få runder har man styr på alle mekanismer, og så begynder man at se mulighederne. Når spillet slutter ved man hvordan man spiller, og har nye ideer om strategier til fremtidige spil.

Når man har tur, trækker spilleren et kort fra en modstander. Kortene indeholder spillets handlinger (Flyt & Udforsk, Byg, Mænder, Udnyt, Krig, Den store plan). Nu vælger spilleren om der skal spilles et enkelt kort, eller et par hvis man har det.

Et ENKELT kort er en begrænset version af den fulde handling. Et PAR er den fulde version af handlingen, og det er her der scores point. AI bruges sammen med et andet kort til at få lov til at lave en parhandling.

Ligesom i ægte sorteper er der flere af handlingerne der forrykker sig i værdi i løbet af spillet. AI’en er f.eks. meget attraktiv i starten, men ikke mod slutningen.

Spilbrættet bygges op under spillet af landskaber der udforskes. Alle typer felter har særkender, oftest i form af en ressource som kan høstes og bruges til at forbedre andre handlinger. Andre felter giver mulighed for bonuspoint, og endelig er der nogle levn fra en tidligere civilisation.

Der spilles to aldre hvor kortene blandes og deles ud på ny. Ca. midtvejs i en alder, speeder spillet op, og tvinger alle enkeltkort til at danne par, som alle kan udnytte (men ikke alle score). Anden alder er som regel meget hurtigere end første, da alt er udforsket. Vinderen er den der har flest point ved slutningen af anden alder.
