Assassinate, Sabotage and Nuke your opponents! Collect victory points and
achieve…
…PLANETARY CONTROL!

Planetary Control takes the alien factions of the Sword of the Stars universe
and turns planetary invasion into a fast-paced, game night, card game! Six
worlds are up for grabs – draw cards and build up armies of matching faction
cards to take possession. Spec-op cards give you a wide variety of mix-and-
match options to protect your planets, take away your friend’s planets, and
general interfere with opposition. Incredibly easy to learn and endlessly
entertaining, Planetary Control is as good as it gets until someone colonizes
Mars, builds it up, and then it gets taken away by alien mercenaries!

There are six worlds, unclaimed by an empire, each one better suited for one
of the six major races in the Galaxy. Each player seeks to claim a planet and
hold it until the end of the game. Control of a planet is achieved by drawing
cards each turn and building a hand of Army cards with a matching faction
crest as the planet. The only way to take a planet away from another player,
your hand most add up to more than the army holding it. Don’t have enough
cards total to beat your opponents? Not to worry, there are a lot of Special
Operations – Spec Ops – cards that can tip things in your favor; draw more
cards, steal cards from other players, pick useful cards from the discard
pile, and even the Mother Of All Jerk-moves, nukes. Planets will fly back and
forth between players, their developed population growing each time, as
members of the previous army lay down their arms and settle down, until the
Cease Fire card appears as a surprise draw, and everybody totals up their
Victory Points by adding up the size of the army on their planets plus its
population. The player with the most Victory Points wins! The player with the
least now has a grudge to bear going into the next round!

Player against the AI, play against your friends, or take on both at the same
time – however you like it, it’s time to seize control. PLANETARY CONTROL!
