Red Outpost takes players on a journey to an alternate reality where a secret Soviet space mission successfully established a communist utopia on a distant planet. As one of the leaders in this isolated settlement, your goal is to guide the hardworking pioneers, ensuring the colony thrives while maintaining morale and efficiency.
Unlike traditional worker placement games, Red Outpost introduces a shared worker mechanic—players take turns controlling different settlers, each with their own strengths, weaknesses, and moods. Every decision impacts not only resource management but also the emotional well-being of the community. Strategic planning is essential, as sending a worker to the wrong task or neglecting their needs could lead to dissatisfaction and hinder productivity.
From farming and fishing to mining and administration, every role plays a vital part in the outpost’s survival. With limited resources and a communal economy, players must balance their ambitions with the well-being of the colony, all while competing to become the most influential leader in this off-world experiment.
Red Outpost offers a unique take on civilization-building with a rich theme, interactive strategy, and dynamic worker placement mechanics that challenge players to think collectively while still striving for individual victory.

A top secret Soviet space mission set out to colonize a planet in a remote galaxy, far away from home. The settlers built there a small communist heaven which exists to this day. As one of the leaders, your goal is to guide the settlers on this new, yet strangely familiar terrain.
In Red Outpost, players get to control all of the settlers, each time a different one. You must expertly manage the resources and choose the jobs carefully so as not to upset the settlers: Keeping up morale is of utmost importance if you want to become the most prolific leader!
