After the Big Bang, things moved quickly. So did you. Players in the game of Eons take on the roles of universal architects competing to shape the universe on a cosmic scale by gathering elemental building blocks to create stars, planets, and other cosmic phenomenon. In a strategy game like no other, the architects engage the laws of the cosmos, using stars to forge more complex elements and form other heavenly bodies.

Players must spend their own essence to marshal these elements, carefully gauging their resources and the benefits received from their planets and stars, as they guide the formation of their cosmos eon after eon; working to achieve the most victory points through a variety of strategies and hidden agendas to achieve their version of the universe. Because eventually, the universe will end, and only one player will be victorious...

During EONS, players build the best universe they can to generate essence, the currency of EONS which represents the power and influence of the architect, and victory points that are used to win the game. They also use supernovae and cosmic collisions to destroy other architects' stars and planets while protecting their own stars so they may fuse and generate heavier elements. These heavy elements form the nucleus for larger stars and planets and can produce life and civilization, which in turn generate more essence and victory points. All the while, universal entropy takes hold with every cosmic event, racing toward the eventual end of the game, when the counter reaches zero. The player with the most victory points after entropy hits 0 wins the game.
