Take turns resolving one order at a time. Move units, harvest commodities, build structures, or disrupt neighbours. Pass early to earn bonus income.

Planet Mongo is being designed in the open. Factions, unit stats, and the initiative matrix are defined. Innovation cards, event decks, and victory conditions are still being finalised through playtesting. The hex map generator is live now.
Four interlocking systems drive every round of Planet Mongo.
Each faction has a unique objective, starting position, VP formula, and stat distribution across 8 axes: Wealth, Population, Military, Science, Culture, Morale, Defense, and Biomes.
