What's in the box

  • Designed by award-winning game designer Reiner Knizia
  • Premium components, including wooden tokens, in a compact box
  • Custom artwork by Hugo Cuellar and Charlie Layton
  • Hazard tiles such as the Abominable Worm and Cosmopoachers
  • About 30 minutes for 2 to 4 players

How it plays

On your turn you place a tile or one of your Imaging Devices on the board. Photo Op tiles raise the payout around them; Hazards like the Abominable Worm and Cosmopoachers drag it down, and Black Holes lurk as well. Rivals will happily spoil your best shot. Position your devices where the scoring is richest and finish with the most Interstellar Credits.

The rules are simple enough for a 9-year-old, yet the sabotage is sharp enough to hook seasoned players. Rounds fly by in about 30 minutes with two to four at the table, and the compact box makes it an easy game to travel with.
