Kuiperium

About this board game

Kuiperium is a two-player sci-fi strategy game played in about 90 minutes, in which rival corporations build a space station along the Kuiper asteroid belt and compete to mine the newly discovered element Kuiperium.

Every decision carries tension. Play cards into your tableau to gain abilities and rewards, but each card also shows a worker placement location that only your opponent can use. This creates a constantly shifting contest in which your actions can open new opportunities for the other corporation.

Place workers, collect rewards, and climb the discovery track while trying to gain control of the station. You will need to manage your resources and hand carefully, weigh the value of each card, and decide when to take risks in pursuit of the most Kuiperium.

• Tableau building: Play cards to develop abilities and rewards.
• Worker placement: Use available locations while considering how your cards help your opponent.
• Push your luck: Take calculated risks as you pursue valuable Kuiperium.
• Resource and hand management: Make the most of limited options and rewards.
• Take-that interaction: Challenge your opponent directly throughout the race.

With simple rules but strategically weighty choices, Kuiperium combines tableau building, worker placement, resource management, and direct interaction in a focused head-to-head experience. The ultimate goal is to mine the most Kuiperium and launch toward new frontiers.

Released in 2024, Kuiperium turns every card played and worker placed into part of a tightly contested race for discovery and control.
