Read the full game description

Neptune is a trick-taking card game that utilizes some very unique mechanics. The deck consists of 3 solar systems. Each system can trump the next and is vulnerable to the other in a rock-paper-scissors format. Each card has a card value and a victory point value. The weaker the card's "card value" the greater its victory point value. There are also special cards that alter play and scoring! Things like space stations, jump gates, black holes, and asteroids! Components: 36 jumbo cards (2.75" x 4.75") 4 score trackers (2.75" x 4.75") 4 rocket ship markers 1 instruction booklet 1 setup box
