About the game

What you do in a play session

In Solar Storm, you and your crew are aboard a spaceship that has been hit by a solar storm, damaging the energy core. To make matters worse, the sun's gravity is pulling the ship towards a fatal end. Your goal is to repair the ship and redirect power to the core before it's too late. Each player has three actions per turn, such as moving, repairing ship areas, sharing resources, or scavenging for supplies. But beware: at the end of each turn, the ship takes more damage, and the level of destruction only increases. Victory depends on everyone's cooperation, as resources are scarce and time is against you. With a random ship layout each game, Solar Storm offers a unique and challenging experience every time you play.
