How far would you go to save yourself? Totally selfish behaviour and utter ruthlessness will be needed to stay alive in this game! Only one astronaut can get home on the remaining oxygen supplies and you must battle against wormholes, asteroid fields, laser blasts and most dangerous of all, each other, to win! Full of clever puns and pop culture references, this ruthless strategy card game includes 5 player cards, 1 spaceship card, 42 space cards, 48 oxygen cards, 30 game cards, a place marker and instructions. —description from the publisher Each astronaut starts with a hand of 5 Game Cards which contain a mixture of Oxygen and Action Cards. On your turn, pick up a card from the Game card pile which is formed of Action cards and Oxygen. Action cards allow you to attack other players by stealing precious Oxygen, moving them back a space or shielding yourself from other players attacks! You can then use your Oxygen cards to move forward through the dangerous void of space. Each time you move forward you reveal a space card which can help or harm you! Get back to the ship first to win, but remember to keep enough oxygen or you'll die...
