Do you have what it takes to save your crew? You are in charge of a very important space mission on Titania. You must deal with limited resources, injured people, and a damaged spacecraft. Your choices will determine whether this crew ends back up on Earth or perishes in space.

If anyone dies, the game is immediately over. Your goal is to successfully rebuild the rocket before killing anyone. Each choice you make will affect the characters’ health. Each time that you make one revolution around the board, you receive one piece of the seven-piece rocket. Choose wisely so that you can rebuild the rocket before anyone gets too ill.

Do what the card tells you to do. The game will select a card that describes a scenario. Do what the card tells you to do (you might take points away from everyone, add points, take/add points to certain people) and hit the “confirm” button.

You can only choose a character that has that capability for performing the required task. There are three types of labor that each character may be able to perform: hard physical labor (H), light physical labor (L), and emotional labor (E). Depending on the character’s backstory, they can do all three types or none at all. When a care task card comes up, it will have a letter (E, L, or H) on the front.

If you do not provide care, the person requiring care loses 2 points. If you pick up a care card, you can either choose to give the care to the person requiring care, or not provide care. If you do provide care, the person requiring care and the person giving care each lose a point. In some cases, the care card asks you to assign up to 2 people to do a task. In that case, either 1 player loses 2 points, or 2 players lose 1 point each.
