## Description
Imagine it's the year 2075. Cats have finally taken over Earth, and being the ambitious creatures they are, they've decided the planet is just too small. Now, their sights are set on cosmic dominance! In MLEM: Space Agency, you take command of a space agency crewed by fearless (and slightly clumsy) 'meowstronauts' ready to conquer the Milky Way.

The game is a space race where you must position your eight cats on planets and moons. The dynamics are simple yet tense: you place a cat on the ship and roll the dice. The goal is to get values that match your current location to move forward on the track. This is where the excitement kicks in: you can decide to bail out and secure your spot on a moon or planet, or you can push your luck and keep going to reach more distant and valuable destinations. But be careful! If the current captain fails the roll, the ship goes boom, and everyone on board is sent back to Earth to start over.

Strategy revolves around where you leave your cats. Moons only accept one crew member and provide fixed points, while planets can hold multiple cats, but final scoring depends on who holds the majority. In other words, you'll want to 'park' your felines where they can dominate the area. With special powers for each cat and the constant tension of 'push your luck', the game blends luck, risk calculation, and that dose of chaos that only cats can provide. Can you lead your crew all the way to the Oort Cloud, or will you end up in a cosmic cat-astrophe?
