A mission gone wrong. Tensions continued to mount aboard your colony ship as the days dragged on. An anonymous act of sabotage has sent the ship plummeting to the surface of a frozen uncharted planet. Damaged beyond repair, the scattered remains will do little to protect you from the brutal cold. In the engine-building, worker placement game Cryo, leaders of separate, hostile factions compete to survive and claim control over the underground caverns on a remote icy planet. You need to act quickly and strategically to avoid further sabotage from other factions. Send drones out from your engineering platform to scavenge resources and save your crew still in cryostasis. Gather different materials to upgrade and customize your platform, fine-tuning new actions to suit your individual strategy. Utilize multi-use cards to your advantage, and claim the underground caverns for your faction to survive. Though unplanned, a new chapter for humanity has begun. Scavenge, build, explore, and lead your faction to victory within this frozen world before the sun sets! —description from the publisher

Know very little beyond the high level description but intrigued to learn more as it comes out. SVWAG and many BGB Discordians are fans.

Engine builder worker placement game with some area control by the designer of The Manhattan Project: Energy Empire. + Theme: stranded on a planet. + Components: neat plastic drones. # Artwork is good and clean, but you have to like the style (reminds me a bit of Gaia Project). # Game end is triggered by players, but usually can end just when your engine is starting (similar to Maracaibo). # Tight economy. # Some sabotage cards. # Area control for 2 players lacks tension.
