About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an intergalactic adventure in Black Hole Buccaneers, where fame and untold riches await you! In this fast-paced drafting game, your mission is to scour the orbits of black holes in search of ancient collectibles. Imagine, humanity used these holes as space dumps centuries ago, and now they are a treasure trove of artifacts and relics with powerful effects. But it's not just relics that matter: toys that are worth little to us in 2642 are highly coveted by other species, who in return offer help to escape the fatal pull of the black holes. After all, no one wants to become space junk again, right? The game unfolds over three intense rounds, where each time you play a card and pass the remaining ones to your neighbor. The trick is that you need to manage what you collect, because if you accumulate too much debris, gravity pulls you into the black hole! Whoever manages to escape in a round's scoring phase scores their valuable items and gets closer to victory. Black Hole Buccaneers is pure adrenaline, with lots of interaction and tough decisions with every card played, ensuring each game is a new and exciting journey through the cosmos.
