Go On Rasalva!

Go on RASALVA! is a tile-placement game for 2 to 3 players set on Rasalva, a moon of the cursed planet Éthimor. Players take the role of alien prospectors — Cyclortes, Vinériens, or Blorcks — competing to become the Chief Administrator of this resource-rich satellite.

Each turn, players spend resources to place hexagonal tiles on the board: Mines (black border), Drills (blue border), or Greenhouses (green border). Placing a tile adjacent to your own tiles earns bonus resources; placing it adjacent to an opponent's Greenhouse forces you to pay them resources. Neutral Simple Extraction tiles (red border) can be played at no cost but block eye formation.

The key strategic move is creating an "Eye": surrounding any tile with exactly 6 non-neutral tiles places a Research Post on it — scoring points and displacing any opponent's alien there.

Turn order is dynamic: the player with the fewest resources in reserve always goes first, creating constant reversals. The game ends the moment the last Research Post tile (white border) is placed, triggering immediate final scoring.

Scoring: 1 pt per Greenhouse · 2 pts per Drill · 3 pts per Mine · 4 pts per Research Post (5 for the final one) · bonus points for resources remaining in reserve.
