A cooperative disaster aboard a time-travelling ship that is already on fire, where the crew jumps backwards to gather the information needed to stop its own destruction.
Who it's for
Co-op groups who like a time-travel puzzle with a ticking clock and characters who cover each other's gaps.
Not for you if…
Time-travel logic gives you a headache, or you dislike co-ops where one loud planner can drive the table.
Vibe's take
Panicked and clever – you are firefighting in two time frames at once, and the paradox track punishes greed.
