In the light of the orange giant's rays, an interplanetary conflict between two empires approaches...

In Aldebaran Duel, you are the leader of a space squadron aiming to control as much as possible of a newly available solar system. Over three ages, you will discover new planets, colonize them, use their resources to build spaceships, and strive to gain superiority over your opponent.

During the game, you acquire cards representing planets, space shuttles, mining stations, and colonized planetary sectors. Planet construction is one of the core mechanisms of the game, and using it correctly can be a critical winning strategy. By building a fleet of trade, diplomatic, and warships, you gain influence in the explored universe — and in the labs, your scientists may discover new technologies that can tip the balance in your favor at the right moment.

At the same time, you can — and must! — use the cards as raw materials to build your empire, so throughout the game you always consider how to use them most effectively. Is it better to play the card — or pay with it? Placing the right combinations of cards will allow you to have better and more diverse options in your next moves. Whoever builds the best functioning new colony after three ages wins.

Aldebaran Duel also includes a variant for solo play.
