About This Game

A fast-paced deck-building game of space combat. Acquire ships and bases from a central trade row, build your deck, and reduce your opponent's authority to zero.

How to Play

  1. Each player starts with a deck of 10 basic cards (8 Scouts, 2 Vipers)
  2. Shuffle and draw 5 cards as your hand
  3. Trade row: 5 face-up cards available for purchase, plus Explorer stack
  4. On your turn, play all cards you want from your hand:
  • Trade (coins): use to buy new cards from the trade row
  • Combat: use to attack your opponent's Authority (health)
  1. Bought cards go to your discard pile (eventually shuffled into your deck)
  2. Faction synergies: cards of the same faction give bonus effects together
  3. Bases stay in play and must be destroyed before hitting Authority
  4. Reduce opponent's Authority from 50 to 0 to win
