Dive into a vivid retrofuturistic universe where the space race never ceased!

It's 2090, and humanity's reach spans the entire solar system. Earth is the hub of a united civilization. Mars thrives, the Moon is bustling, and the gas giants' moons hum with activity.

But survival beyond Earth is no cakewalk. Radiation, micrometeoroids, and resource disputes test your mettle. You're an astronaut, a scientist, a pilot - and your skills are humanity's last hope.

Sol Beyond Earth delivers a rules-light setting-heavy streamlined gaming experience. It's ready to play, featuring situational skill rolls instead of numeric statistics.

Explore the diverse colonies of a thriving solar system, confront challenges, navigate politics, and forge your destiny among the stars.

Two Unique Editions:

  • Bifold Edition: Dive into the game universe in minutes. Quick and accessible, it's the perfect introduction to the Sol: Beyond Earth universe.
  • Complete Edition: Immerse yourself in a fully-fledged setting, detailed rules, and additional content that will take your adventure to new depths.

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active.

I really appreciate your hard work and kindness

preso in versione POD. Mooolto bellino ! Attendo solo gameplay su YT, insieme alla continuazione di Plerion, magari in salsa solo starfarer.  E' fantasia, la mia ?

Plerion sì con Solo Starfarer SBE no, non è adatto al solitario
