Mission briefing

A peaceful planet. A massive meteor.

  1. 1 A feathery little dragon in a space helmet

    Life was pleasant

    PuffiNova is a planet far away in another galaxy. Life there was pleasant and peaceful…

  2. 2 Diamond Explosion cards: a meteor bursting into diamonds

    Then the meteor struck

    …until a massive meteor hit. The impact destroyed buildings and threw many of the planet's residents into space.

  3. 3 Yogo the winged kitten tumbling through space

    Residents adrift

    Now they are drifting among the stars, waiting for someone to bring them home.

  4. 4 Five colourful spaceship tokens

    Your mission

    Launch your spaceships, rescue the residents and rebuild PuffiNova. Earn stars from the cards you play and the diamonds you collect. The most stars wins!

Meet the residents

Every card is a little friend to rescue

Foxes, giraffes, cockatiels, reindeer, goldfish, dragons and many more – all in their space helmets. Hand-painted watercolor illustrations by Jasu Hintsala.

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

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.
