Summary:

Gather a Crew & Passengers, ​then Reach for the Stars!

This was a super fun one to make — you get to command a deep space vessel populated by a bunch of brilliant animal scientists, astronauts, and more!

It’s a card game where uou can play solo, or in teams and up to 4 players. You must recruit crew and passengers to claim a new planet suitable for a select few species before your opponents do so. Competition is fierce, requiring swift assembly of your team.

Creating a competitive balance while ensuring fun was a challenge, but I think I got there in time. The game scales in complexity, has a bunch of cute animals, has solid replayability, and each card is unique in some way. I’m proud of how this one turned out!
