NASA Space Game

Objective

The objective of the NASA Space Game is to be the first player to successfully complete a mission through space and return to Earth. During the journey, players must overcome a variety of obstacles and make decisions that affect the outcome of their mission.

Setup

• Each player selects a game piece and places it on the starting space of the board, which represents Earth.
• Shuffle the event cards well and place them face down on the designated area of the board.

Game Overview

1. Determine Order: Each player rolls a die to determine the play order. The player with the highest roll goes first.
2. Turn Sequence:
3. Roll a six-sided die and move your piece according to the number rolled on the board.
4. If you land on a special space, draw an event card and follow the instructions.
5. Some spaces move you forward, others send you back or trigger special situations like meteor showers or fuel shortages.
6. In certain sections, a minimum number of dice points are needed to progress further.
7. Event Cards:
8. Event cards can have positive or negative effects, e.g., "You discover an external fuel supply. Advance 3 spaces." or "A solar storm damages your spaceship. Lose a turn."
9. Strategic Points:
10. Some areas of the board offer opportunities to strategically influence your turn. Consider when to take risks and when to be cautious.
11. Return to Earth: The first player to land back on Earth wins the game.

Strategic Tips

• Resource Management: Pay attention to how you handle negative events. It might be better to pass through a space slowly to hope for a favorable event card.
• Timing: Plan your moves in advance, especially when you're close to an event space.
• Flexibility: Be prepared for unexpected turns, as the event cards can greatly influence the game.

The NASA Space Game combines strategy with a bit of luck and offers a fresh challenge with each play through its variety of event cards. Enjoy the game!
