About the game
What you do in a play session
In 2456, Earth is a distant memory, and humanity is on the hunt for a new home. Two factions are locked in a desperate struggle for survival and the colonization of promising planets. But the race isn't just between them; a hostile alien race is scattering space mines to sabotage ships. Will your faction make it there first and secure the future of the species?
Cosmic Run: Rapid Fire is the direct and standalone sequel to Cosmic Run, promising a faster-paced, action-packed experience. Forget the delays; this game is direct and aggressive, featuring direct attacks on opponents to disrupt their plans and secure your advantage. The game is incredibly portable, fitting in the palm of your hand with just ten dice and some score sheets. Perfect for taking anywhere and jumping into a quick match whenever the competitive urge strikes.
The core mechanic revolves around rolling dice with icons and using the results to advance, attack, or defend. It's a game that blends the luck of the roll with tactical decisions about how to use your resources and when to sabotage your adversary. Ideal for those who enjoy racing games with a combat element and a touch of controlled luck. Its portability is a major plus, but the simplicity of the rules and the direct nature of the interaction might not appeal to those seeking deep strategic complexity or more intricate themes. It's a frantic space race where every roll can alter the course of the battle and colonization.
