About the game
What you do in a play session
Brace yourselves (and your timers), because the sky is falling! In Meteor, you and your friends aren't playing against each other; instead, you're all in the same boat — or rather, on the same planet — trying to avoid the apocalypse. The premise is frantic: a storm of meteors is heading straight for Earth, and the impact time is incredibly short. If even a single one of these space rocks slips past our defenses, goodbye, life as we know it!
This is a fast-paced cooperative card game where resource management and speed are everything. You must work together to build and launch interceptor rockets before time runs out. Each player has their own hand of cards and a build area to assemble the projectiles. In larger player counts, build areas might be shared, demanding intense coordination. The pace is driven by real-time mechanics, meaning there's no time to debate the best move for ten minutes; you need to act fast, manage your cards, and ensure the rockets hit their targets before impact becomes inevitable. It's a quick, intense card game that requires sharp communication to keep humanity alive for one more day. Are you fast enough to save the world, or is Earth's fate already sealed?
