Last Light is a dynamic 4x game featuring 3D planets and a rotating board where players, each controlling unique alien factions, compete to gather light before the universe faces its heat death. In each turn, players choose an action card, then all players execute their actions simultaneously—exploring planets, mining resources, acquiring new technologies, and commanding fleets. The objective is to race to the center of the rotating board, where the last known white dwarf star is located, to collect light necessary for your civilization's survival. The first player to amass 20 light secures victory by claiming the last light in the universe!
