Welcome to 581. On this distant planet, four factions are fighting for control of alien artifacts left behind by an ancient and advanced civilization. The warring factions are Terra Corps, Scion Imperium, Neo Human Republic, and Feng. With Earth on the brink of ruin, 581 offers the possibility of a second Earth, but who will rule? Who will be the first to build a Wormgate and march their armies through it to conquer the dust of 581?
During the invasions of 581, the factions built large interstellar bases to house, control and deploy their troops. These bases are known as Hives. As a player, you play as the commander of one of these Hives, from which you deploy your forces in the struggle for control of ancient alien artifacts and domination of 581 itself.
Lost Empires: War for the New Sun is a head-to-head, map-based area control game with an emphasis on tactical movement and map design. Each player chooses a faction and, using the cards available for that faction, builds a deck of 18 cards with which to fight. You earn artefacts by controlling objectives and destroying elite enemy units with alien technology. Once you have collected enough artifacts, you use them to build a wormhole. The first person to build a Wormgate, wins the war for the new sun.
