Two Games in One Box
Space Nexus features two complete game modes that use the same components:
To Boldly Go… — A competitive space race where players build a modular galaxy, roll colored dice to navigate space lanes, zip through wormholes, collect trophies with special powers, and race to claim victory before anyone else.
Alien Onslaught! — A cooperative (or competitive) defense mode where alien fleets are warping in and marching toward Earth. Deploy your ships, resolve combat with a dedicated Combat Board, earn Defender of Earth medallions, and survive wave after wave before it's too late.

Modular hex tile galaxy map
24 colorful dice
Player ship tokens
Card decks (Movement, Defender, Combat)
Trophies with special powers
Combat Board

Why You'll Love It
Two ways to play, one rules system — Quick competitive race or longer cooperative defense, depending on your group
Easy to learn, satisfying to master — Color-matching movement is intuitive; depth comes from doubles, cards, and trophies
Highly replayable — Modular hex tiles, wormholes, trophy placement, and invasion points make every galaxy layout different
Flexible for different groups — Works as a family game, a friend hangout, or a serious strategy night
