EGO

Welcome to the 23rd Century! Humanity has finally discovered proof of alien life beyond our solar system! Technological breakthroughs have unlocked a stunning array of discoveries throughout the galaxy. Now, intelligent life and advanced civilizations wait for us across numerous planets, moons, and asteroids within the Milky Way.

The race is on to establish interstellar relations, and your mission begins here. Only by pooling resources can you hope to construct the monumental Super Ship required to make contact. In a groundbreaking collaboration between planetary governments, the coalition known as the Extraterrestrial Greeting Organization (EGO) stands ready to embark on its first mission to reach out to alien civilizations.

In EGO, players navigate through a thrilling series of major and minor events, including auctions, drafts, and high-stakes risks. 🎲 Every decision you make reverberates as you engage in tense standoffs with rival ambassadors, striving to impress various alien societies and bolster your political power.

As the game progresses, your standing with the aliens can lead to significant bonus points or substantial penalties based on how they perceive you. Ultimately, the ambassador who accumulates the most prestige and respect will claim their place in the Galactic Senate and be crowned the winner!
