The Kepler Nexus sits at the edge of known space — neutral enough to survive, valuable enough that no faction dares destroy it. Four powers have converged on the station, each with a different agenda, each playing a completely different game. One wants to hold the station. One wants to hold everything. One is hunting a relic no one else can name. One just wants to disappear. Nobody knows who is playing what until the final reveal. The Kepler Nexus is an asymmetric card game where each player secretly controls a faction with a completely different win condition. Every decision is a bluff. Every card played tells your opponents something they can use against you.
