About the game
What you do in a play session
The heart of the game is your shuttle board. Each round, you roll your dice and use them as 'workers' to activate different ship systems. Need more speed? Shift your dice to the engines. Need energy for the shields? Direct your dice to maintenance. The challenge is that the board is modular, meaning the galaxy changes every game, forcing you to adapt your routes constantly. It’s a pick-up-and-deliver game with a clever strategic layer, as you must balance delivery efficiency with the constant maintenance of your ship's systems to avoid critical errors.
Beyond managing your route and the needs of your alien passengers, you'll receive messages from an android named S.A.M., who acts as your guide and support throughout the journey. The game flows dynamically: you plan, roll the dice, allocate, move, and deal with the dangers of space. The winner is the one who accumulates the most Victory Points by the end, earning the coveted title of 'Employee of the Month.' It’s a great choice if you enjoy mid-weight games that mix dice management with a humorous sci-fi theme. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, the experience is focused on optimizing every turn to ensure no package is left behind. Grab your space coffee, fire up the engines, and good luck on your first shift!
