How to play

One turn, one choice

Players take turns clockwise. On your turn you may make an optional Emergency Landing, then choose one of three main actions:

1. Launch a spaceship
Place a spaceship on the space board and take the cards in its window positions into your hand.

2. Rescue or build
Play a card from your hand – a resident to rescue or a building to construct. Pay its cost by discarding other cards that make the right resources.

3. Call your ships home
Bring all your spaceships back beside your player board, ready to fly again.

Six cosmic resources

  • Glistening Grass
  • Cosmic Dust
  • Melted Steel
  • Space Seed
  • Shining Comet
  • Meteor Mushroom

Four places to rebuild

  • 💎 Diamond Field – Gives you diamonds right away.
  • 🏰 Star Castle – Gives stars at the end of the game.
  • 🌙 Moon Council – Diamonds now and stars later – if you pay the exact cost.
  • ⏳ Galactic City – Buildings and hourglass cards, scored at the end.

When does it end?

Four Diamond Explosion cards are hidden near the bottom of the draw piles. The moment someone draws the third one, the game ends. Count the stars – the most stars wins!

Tip from the rulebook: for your first game or with younger players, use only the Family Decks.
