In colony, each player constructs and upgrades buildings, while managing resources to grow their fledgling colony. In a clever twist, dice are used as resources, with each side/number representing a different resource. Some resources are stable, allowing them to be stored between turns, while others must be used right away. Buildings provide new capabilities, such as increased production, resource manipulation, and additional victory points. Using dice-as-resources facilitates a dynamic, ever-changing resources management mini-game while players work to earn victory points by adding building to their tableau on their way to victory.

I played this at a friend's house and enjoyed it so much that I brought the game from Amazon using my phone during the game. I have played it about 6-7 times and enjoy it greatly every time I play.Pros- Plays and teaches quickly. Setup takes only minutes. Most people 'get' the rules quickly (though seeing how the different cards work together takes time). And, play time is fairly close to an hour, depending on how much "considering" the players take.- Variety of buildings and strategies makes replay value high- Solo game helps you find ideas and strategies... and is just fun. You play to see how many points you can generate.- Excellent game design, even if you don't get the dice you wanted each turn, it is rare to have a turn when you have nothing you can do- There is a "last ditch effort" move you can make to catch up to other players, so even while trailing you can still have a chance to catch upCons- Certain cards and combinations of cards work together better than others- Some of the specific cards have very specific rules... be sure you read the rules for each card before you use them in a game- The "rich get richer" in the game, and it isn't unusual for someone to be way out ahead on both the number of dice they get each turn and points
