## Description
Imagine being one of the galaxy's most sought-after scientists, but your peaceful research on Alarria's fauna has just turned into absolute chaos. A massive asteroid, the size of a small country, is hurtling toward the planet, and time is your greatest enemy. If you don't act fast, Alarria will soon be nothing but stardust! To save the world, the scientific elite has been summoned to implement three desperate plans, each with slim chances of success: a high-powered laser to pulverize the rock, an energy shield to deflect the impact, or a mass evacuation plan to move life to the moon Fortuna. As an expert, you must decide where to focus your resources and efforts. Is it worth trying to destroy the asteroid, or is it better to ensure life survives elsewhere? The game uses a dynamic mix of worker placement and action card management. Each round, the danger increases as the asteroid draws closer, forcing you to make critical decisions under pressure. You'll need to manage your hand of cards and resources with surgical precision to ensure your plan—or your opponents' plan—is the one that saves the day. It's a race against time where science is your only hope against a cosmic apocalypse!
