Space colonization game
January 12, 2024 1:18 PM

Looking for a simple "space colonizing" game, probably in-browser and probably found via MetaFilter. Each turn you made simple decisions like whether to go on, probe a planet for more information about its atmosphere, temperature, existing life; communicate with another vessel in your vicinity; maybe slow down to avoid some damage; maybe jettison stuff; try to keep as many colonists alive as possible. At the end when you chose a planet you got a short story about the civilization that ensued and how it prospered or failed. All text, I think.

Cool. In related, back in ancient times we played a simple turn-based colony game called Spaceward Ho.
