Gameplay

Chart the unknown, then depart alive.

Move across a fogged hex grid, submit actions into a shared queue, and push the expedition toward extraction before the map turns against you.

Xenovoya is a Chart & Depart game: explore as much as you can as fast as you can, then find the route home while you still have one.

Launch a survey

A player starts the expedition, the board seeds, and the survey tablet opens the new run.

From the first screen, the team can see what is known, what is hidden, and where the next risk begins.

Play the board

Players move across the revealed hexes, manage movement budget, and decide when to dig, camp, or press ahead.

The tactical board stays readable so the team can reason about the map quickly.

Survive the pressure

The expedition gets harder as the run continues. Hazards, time pressure, and return routes all matter at once.

That keeps the game from feeling like a static puzzle and pushes it toward a real escape loop.

Keep the result

Completed expeditions remain readable in the client. The outcome is something your crew can review later.

That makes each run feel like a real expedition record, not a disposable match.

The loop

Three acts.
One expedition.
