Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Buckle up your Rad Suit. Fire up the Rig. Beware the Tox. The Dead Eye is an adventure card game for one player. Assume the role of a lone thermo-bandit downed on a hostile backwater planet. Your mission? Find the next safe haven before you lose all hope and strength… and maybe, just maybe, find a way off of this desolate rock. Cards in The Dead Eye represent Encounters that can have one of two Outcomes: Good or Bad. A Bad Outcome is triggered by a buildup of dangerous Heat while a Good Outcome is triggered by a buildup of valuable Juice. Your starting Draw Deck includes 6 cards with Juice and 6 cards with Heat. As you play through the deck, some of these cards will raise your Heat and Juice levels, while at other times the cards will be used as the Encounter itself. Face dangerous Encounters, salvage useful Parts and reach safe Haven. The Dead Eye includes a 12 page prelude comic book, 20 page rule-book, 1-fold double-sided game board, 2 pairs of stereoscopic-3D glasses, 1 pair of “hook-behind” stereoscopic-3D glasses and 54 unique cards. —description from the publisher
