Atlas Rush - Strategic Sci-fi Board Game

The System Awaits!

warp gate technology has finally been unlocked! But activating these interstellar portals won't be easy. Four powerful factions: Terrans, the Mainframe, Pioneers, and Pirates – are vying for control of the trade routes. Each faction starts in a different sector, ready to launch their fleet towards uncharted worlds and claim their place among the stars.

Atlas Rush is a fast-paced, family-friendly race against time. You'll pilot your ships across real-world locations in our solar system, collecting vital resources on each planet and using them to modify your dice rolls, or build settlements and outmaneuver your rivals.

Will you be the first to activate the warp gates, complete missions, and dominate the system economy? Or will you fall behind as your competitors claim victory?
