Chaotic, strategic, bluffing, steampunk

About this game

Steampunk area-control game where players launch astronauts to Mars using simultaneous role selection. Choose from nine numbered characters each round β€” the twist is that used characters don't come back, creating an increasingly tense hand-management puzzle over the game's ten rounds.
