About the game
Alright, Captain! Brace yourself for a breathtaking solo mission in Deep Space D-6. You're at the helm of an RPTR-class starship, and that distress call in the Auborne system turned out to be a nasty trap! Now, your sole objective is to survive for as long as possible until the rescue fleet arrives. This is a dice game where every roll counts, and you'll need to be smart about managing your crew and ship's resources.

Each turn, you'll roll your crew dice and decide where to assign each member. But beware, space is unforgiving! You'll have to deal with internal threats, like system malfunctions, and external ones, such as enemy attacks or cosmic hazards. Effectively managing these situations is the key to not becoming stardust. Think carefully about your actions, anticipate problems, and use your crew wisely to keep the ship operational and yourself alive.

Deep Space D-6 shines with its simplicity and depth. It's a quick game, perfect for those who enjoy a solo challenge and don't have much time but want a tense and engaging experience. The dice allocation mechanic (dice worker placement) is cleverly designed and forces you to make tough decisions with every play. If you're into space-themed games, dice, and a good solo challenge, this adventure is for you. It's a print-and-play game, so you can get your copy quickly and start playing. Surviving the deep space has never been this thrilling!
