After a hiatus, a print and play package has been made available for download by the game designer. An instruction sheet can be found in the Files section of the game's page on Boardgamegeek here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/131335/print-and-play-instructions
Alternatively, a direct link to downloading (using a secure Mediafire account) the complete zip package including an Instruction sheet can be found here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/l838389imuoih7w/Planetary_Reign_Print_....
I encourage you to have a go at making and playing Planetary Reign and I look forward to your comments and feedback. Have fun and thanks for your support.
You are welcome and and yes it does have the ring of a worker placement game. However in my opinion, its also quite different in that your workers perform multiple roles:
- they are used to select your actions and they don't have to compete against opponents to perform a particular action as in typical worker placement games
- they are used as population which means you have to trade off either having a larger population on the main board against the number of actions you can perform in a turn
Cheers and thanks for your comment.
