Space Exodus

Youtube introduction (with a crappy swedish accent) available here:

In a not too distant future, the earths resources are all but gone, and humanity
is turning to outer space to find new ways to sustain itself. You are the captain
of one of the ships in the human space fleet, searching new star systems for
earth-like planets capable of a new human settlement. But tensions in the fleet
are rising, and every captain wants to personally be the starter of a new colony
when you find a suiting planet. But to be able to start a colony you are going to
need materials, rare materials...

In Space Exodus, every player is the captain of their own ship, traveling space together with the human space fleet. You must upgrade your ship, recruit new crewmembers to man your shields and weapons and ultimately battle the hardest foes to achieve victory.

Each turn, there is an auction for a few randomly drawn cards that will allow the players to gain new crewmembers or/and damaging their opponents in some way. After the auction an encounter card will be drawn, and each player will choose which (if any) enemy to fight. The harder the enemy, the higher the reward!
