About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a cosmic adventure in "Kosminen kierros" (Cosmic Tour)! In this cooperative journey, you and your crew are astronauts on a spaceship exploring our solar system. The main goal is to ensure everyone returns home safe and sound, but don't forget to gather as much information about planets and other celestial bodies along the way to secure victory.

The game unfolds across two boards: one for the solar system, where the ship navigates, and another for the spaceship's interior, where each astronaut fulfills their role. Be careful not to stray off course, collide with celestial bodies or the Sun, as this means the end of the mission for everyone! Unexpected events can arise when crossing certain areas of space, adding an extra spice to the exploration.

Inside the ship, each turn requires you to move between modules to perform crucial actions: adjust the ship's direction on the Bridge, collect valuable data in the Observatory, grab useful equipment from Storage, or propel the ship forward in the Engine Room. The game offers three difficulty levels, gradually introducing new elements like Captain's Orders cards and even escape pods, which can drastically change the dynamics and strategy. "Kosminen kierros" is a great choice for families and young explorers (ages 8-14), teaching about space and the importance of teamwork in a super fun way!
