## Description
Space Alone is a roll‑and‑write game that puts you in the shoes of an astronaut stranded on a hostile alien world. Designed for 1‑4 players (or solo) and lasting about 20‑40 minutes, it welcomes anyone 12 years or older. On each turn the active player rolls four six‑sided dice (D6) and uses the resulting pool to perform actions such as generating power, producing oxygen, shielding against radiation, or repairing the spacecraft. The ship acts as a hub; you regularly return to it to deposit resources, upgrade systems, and plan the next move. The win condition depends on the chosen scenario – you might explore a mysterious region, fix your ship, or establish contact with a space station. Meanwhile, oxygen levels drop, radiation spikes, and energy is scarce, creating a constant tug‑of‑war over priorities. Players can interfere with each other and even eliminate opponents with environmental hazards or sabotage. The game ends when the scenario is successfully completed or when all astronauts die. As a Print & Play title, all you need are the scenario sheets, a pencil, and the four dice – no plastic components or elaborate boards. Its light yet tense design blends the familiar roll‑and‑write mechanic with the immersion of a space‑survival campaign, offering replayability through multiple scenarios and solo or group play.
