Category: Base Game

The aim of Circadians: First Light is to lead a team of researchers on the planet of Ryh. Players need to manage their crew (dice) to visit various parts of the planet for trade, farming, construction and research. Players score points for negotiating with the locals, harvesting resources for the depository, upgrading their research base, exploring the planet, and collecting gems. The game is played over eight rounds. At the end of the final round, the player with the most points wins.

Ellie ★★★★★

I've played a lot of worker placement games, but assigning dice to trade, farming, and construction around Ryh feels genuinely different every round. The 2nd edition components are sturdier than I expected too, especially the player boards.

Steven ★★★★★

We've played this five times already and the dice allocation as crew members keeps pulling us back in. The farming and construction routes offer just enough tension between building your camp and trading off-world. Setup takes a bit, but once you're on Ryh the turns flow beautifully.

Carter ★★★★★

The dice-as-crew mechanic is so clever—every turn you're agonizing over whether to send your best workers to farm or push further into the planet for trade. Setup takes a bit, but the board and pieces feel sturdy and thematic. Already planning our next session.
