  • Summary: Lost in space with the last five humans in the entire universe, it’s up to you to guide them through the stars. Find habitable planets and colonize them with creation engines before your nanoVirus-infected arkship self-destructs.Game Features:MAN-UP, WISE-UP TACTICSChances are, spaceLost in space with the last five humans in the entire universe, it’s up to you to guide them through the stars. Find habitable planets and colonize them with creation engines before your nanoVirus-infected arkship self-destructs.Game Features:MAN-UP, WISE-UP TACTICSChances are, space will get you killed. Make smart tactical decisions and you just might save the human race. Play recklessly and humanity dies with you.RESOURCE MANAGEMENT CRAZINESSYour ship’s artificial intelligence just might go insane. The thruster reactors leak and the hull is cracking from the stress of intergalactic flight. Your robots need constant maintenance, and pesky nanobots are trying to corrupt the creation engines and break the ship apart. Manage your resources carefully or there’s no tomorrow.SYMBIOTIC CREW = SUPER POWERSEvery member of your crew has been engineered to give the arkship a special power. Activate those powers by connecting crew to the ship’s artificial intelligence (interfacing).YOU’RE ON SHIFT!Assign non-interfaced crew to shifts. Every crew member is armed with a different speciality to deal with the arkship’s growing list of problems. Decide who’s on shift and when to keep the arkship from falling apart. But be warned, your symbiotic crew members will grow fatigued if you keep them from interfacing with the artificial intelligence for too long.RANDOM MAP GOODNESSLook, space is a very big place. There’s no reason to play (or die) in the same place twice. Expand

    In this sci-fi single player board game, players must choose their crew's work schedule to survive and save humanity.

    The unfortunate clash between hard strategy and random setup is a fairly serious black mark, but the other flaws in the title are relatively minor once you get stuck in.

    A solid idea that needs a bit more work to be a good game. Right now, it’s as merely clerical as the name implies.
