How to Play
Game Objective:
Be the first player to collect a set of 3 (or up to 5, depending on the players' choice) Alien Species cards of the same type and a Spaceship card to win.
Components:
A deck of 50 cards, including:
30 Alien Species cards (5 of each of 6 types)
10 Hazard cards
10 Spaceship cards
Setup:
Shuffle the deck and deal 5 cards to each player.
Place the rest of the deck face down in the center as the draw pile. Leave space for a discard pile next to it.
Choose a player to go first, then take turns clockwise.
How to Play:
On your turn, follow these steps in order:
Draw a Card: Take 1 card from the top of the draw pile, unless a card effect says otherwise.
Take an Action: You may do the following actions in any order you like:
Play an Alien Species Card: Add an Alien Species card to your "Planet" (the area in front of you). You can only play 1 Alien Species card per turn unless another card effect allows more.
Play a Hazard Card: Play as many Hazard cards as you like.
Play a Spaceship Card: Place a Spaceship card on your Planet. Spaceship cards remain for 3 turns before being discarded. You can only play 1 Spaceship card per turn unless another card effect allows more.
(Optional) Discard: If you have more than 5 cards in your hand, discard down to 5.
Reshuffle if Needed: If the draw pile runs out, shuffle the discard pile to create a new draw pile.
Card Types:
Alien Species Cards: Collect sets of the same Alien Species. You need 3 (or the agreed number) of the same type to win, along with a Spaceship card.
Hazard Cards: These cards add strategic twists, speeding up or slowing down the game.
Spaceship Cards: You need at least one Spaceship card to win. It stays on your Planet for 3 turns before being discarded.
Winning the Game:
The game ends when a player has 3 (or the agreed number) of the same Alien Species cards and a Spaceship card on their Planet at the end of their turn. That player wins!
