## Description
In *Smuggler’s Drift*, you’re a smuggler navigating a deadly asteroid field three times without running out of fuel or blowing up. Dodge blue asteroids, blast red ones, and scoop Lost Cargo to repair, reload, or refuel. Every move is a gamble: pushing forward might net resources or spell doom. The game blends grid movement and action points for tactical tension, with push-your-luck mechanics keeping each playthrough unpredictable. With its sci-fi theme and punishing solo mode, it’s ideal for fans of *Fuse* or *Deep Space D-6* who want something more portable (it’s Print & Play after all!).
