Read the full game description

It is 2456 and the planet Earth has long been abandoned. The remaining humans in existence, divided into political factions, have been in search of a new home. Only two factions remain. As they race toward new hospitable worlds, they are not only battling each other, but a hostile alien race that is trying to sabotage their ships with space mines. Will your team make it to the planets to establish new colonies? Cosmic Run: Rapid Fire is a standalone, 1-2 player sequel to Cosmic Run. It's a quicker, yet more aggressive game because it includes direct attacks on your opponent. It is also a very portable game consisting of just ten dice and score sheets.
