Astronauts – The Ultimate Space Game
ASTRONAUTS is the fun game that takes you to the edge of the solar system. Race your opponents to explore the planets and moons of our solar system and then return safely back to Earth. Explore Mars, the moons of Jupiter, Saturn’s rings, Neptune, the Kuiper Belt and more as you slingshot your way from planet to planet and use your booster rocket and hyperspace to speed your safe return. The further out in space you travel the more points you get but the more difficult it becomes to return, so beware getting stuck in Deep Outer Space. Avoid the Asteroids, beware of the Black Hole, watch out for the Wormhole and survive the Super Nova, whilst you try not to get stuck in the grip of Jupiter’s massive gravity. The excitement builds as the lead changes with each returning mission and the game is often won or lost on the final go. No two games are ever the same in this clever card game that you will want to play again and again.

“Manages the impressive feat of being challenging enough to entertain older audiences, and simple enough that even the youngest players will understand the rules fully within a just couple of games.
The cards are brilliantly illustrated, with images that are both entertaining and educational.
Overall the game is clever and exciting, leaving you wanting to play again and again regardless of your astronomical background”.

TYPE OF CARDS IN THE ASTRONAUTS GAME
Planet Cards enable you to build a score by visiting planets as you head further and further away from the sun.
Points increase for planets that are furthest away.
For example Mars is worth 2 points but Neptune is worth 5 points.
Moon Cards can be played after the corresponding planet to double your points.
For example after you have played Jupiter (worth 3 points) you can then play Europa (to score another 3 points).
Return To Earth Cards enable you to complete a mission and bank all your points from the planets and moons visited.
But the further out you are in the solar system the more difficult it is to return!
Power Cards change the game to your advantage or hinder an opponent.
Use them tactically to help win the game.
They all do different things and include cards like BLACK Hole, Solar Wind, Asteroid Impact, Supernova, Wormhole, Gravity, Slingshot, Booster Rocket, Hyperspace And More.
