Played at UKGE 2021 with the designer Ayden Lowther assisting with the rules & gameplay. Amazing game...really looking forward to their forthcoming KS in September. If you enjoyed Solar Storm...look into this game when it launches...

Description
The human race has exhausted all the energy available on planet Earth. If they are to advance into an intergalactic civilisation they must harness the power of a solar system. They must build a dyson sphere.
Solar Sphere is a dice placement/manipulation game with elements of engine building, resource management, and set collection. Set hundreds of years in the future in a time when competition will move mankind forward, but when collaboration is also sometimes necessary. In Solar Sphere, each player commands a mothership. Their primary task is to build a dyson sphere. But, with crew to hire and aliens attacking the sphere, there are many other ways to earn prestige and become the saviour of mankind.
In this dice placement game, players can manipulate their dice using drones. However, players have a limited supply of drones, which are also used to upgrade dice placement spots or to support in fights against aliens. Players can always recycle used drones to get them back into their supply. Or, spend them for instant benefits.
Players simultaneously start the turn by rolling their dice. Dice act as spacecraft and are sent, in payer order, to locations to gather resources, build the dyson sphere, build or recycle drones, upgrade worker spots, hire crew, and fight off aliens.
Crew come with their own unique benefits that will help players in a variety of areas. Chain crew abilities together to build a good engine, and retire them for extra benefits. Making space for new crew members.
As the game progresses, more aliens will arrive to defend a sun that they also need. Fight them off alone, or join forces with other players and share the rewards. However, if no one takes on the rebellious aliens, then you all lose points.
Solar Sphere combines a combination of mechanisms with a powerful theme to bring players an immersive experience.

A selection of reviews rated 8 or higher.
Kickstarter. Great components production. Gameplay is fantastic! Just what I wanted for a sequel to Solar Storm.
It's funny that I rated this a nine last year. I pulled it out and couldn't really remember it and tried to Play It again and found it so fidgety to relearn that I'm selling it. I will leave my nine reading though because I trust my younger self ?
Très beau et bon jeu, matériel super. Plusieurs actions possibles. Le solo tourne très bien. Parties rapides et règles simples. Un jeu dans une petite boîte qui prend sa place dans une ludothèque pour les fans du thème et des mécaniques (placement d'ouvriers avec des lancées de dés et gestion de ressources). A essayer!
fulfilled my expectations, great richness with a lot of game possibilities. Not enough game to really judge the game but some actions or even resources seem to me not very useful. Otherwise I like the game very much, gameplay material really good
CAUTION! Not suitable for children under 3 years of age. It contains small parts which could be swallowed or inhaled.
