Prologue

The earth reaches a point of exponentially increasing population and resource depletion due to rapid development. So humans, finding difficulty in securing resources, feels limitations in living on earth.

So humans turn to the unknown world of space, and find that there exists a Hexus Cube appropriate for the construction of space stations, and competitively ventures into space to secure the resource.

The Hexus Cube resource is plentiful enough to be shared through cooperation between the 4 groups of humans, but through selfishness, jealousy, competitive mindset, all humans regard the space resource to be short.

Now the player has to be responsible for the destiny of one of the 4 groups venturing into space. The player has to go through harsh competition to secure the "Hexus Cube" resource and combine it to construct the most stable, ideal Hexus base.

The only thing to be trusted is each player's brain and quick judgment.

How to Play

1. Set up the board, and stack 8 types of cubes like the cube shapes in the middle of the board.

2. Mix Hexus position chips well, and flip them on the position chip position to cover the cube shape, and put them without order.

3. Each player rolls the dice, and the player with the lowest number puts his piece on the desired position chip, and the player with the highest number starts the game, progressing clockwise.

4. The player rolls the dice and puts his piece on the position chip by the number rolled following clockwise position, and after flipping the chip moved, Obtain the cube ordered by the chip and build it in his area. Also, when an event order comes up, the player must progress on with the event.

5. Even if the Hexus position chip is used by another player, the position chip can continue to be used until the game ends.

6. PASS

When there is no cube corresponding the chip the player has moved on, or if it is not a desired cube, the player can pass on to the next player (However, for the event chip, or when on position chip of the same area as another player, when exchanging cubes, the player cannot pass)

7. Event chip usage

Hexus event chip has two types, and there are 4 total.

EVENT CHIP 1: Obtain one Hexus cube in the middle of the board desired and use for own build a base.
