About the game
What you do in a play session
But here's the thing, it's not a straightforward journey. In this dimension, ships move towards the nearest object. And guess what? It's usually another ship! If the surrounding ships start moving, reaching the gate can turn into an epic saga. Time is ticking, and the wreckage of ships that failed to escape serves as a grim reminder. The gameplay is pure adrenaline with cards. We choose our fuel cards in any order we want, but they resolve alphabetically, which can send you far from your original plan. Each player has an 'Emergency Stop' card to use once per round to try and save the day. Whoever reaches the gate first wins, but if no one escapes after six rounds, the player closest to it claims victory. The 2nd Edition introduced more cards and support for up to six players, plus unique abilities for each ship. It's a fast-paced game, full of twists and turns, testing your ability to predict others' moves (and your own!).
