Description
From the genius behind The Resistance and Avalon comes Abandon Planet, an electrifying board game centered on escaping a meteor apocalypse. It offers a heart - pounding survival experience filled with betrayal and fleeting alliances as Earth nears annihilation. Players who wish to avoid perishing on the soon - to - burn planet must team up to equip a rickety rocket for an interplanetary leap. However, self - interest runs high, and alliances can shift in an instant. Each turn, players secretly choose a rocket direction. After simultaneous revelation, they take turns gathering resources from the board or pilfering from opponents. A deadly meteor looms over each round, striking at the end, reshaping the map, and damaging rockets in its path. One player knows the meteor's target, and sharing this info can change the game's dynamics. To win, you and a partner need to amass enough resources, prep your rocket, and survive a round without being robbed or destroyed. Multiple teams can win, and it's even possible for most players to escape if they cooperate. But once the first rockets blast off, those left on the planet are doomed. The players reaching space are the victors, while the rest face meteor destruction.
How to play: First, team up with a partner. Each turn, secretly decide which direction to send your rocket and then reveal your choices at the same time. After that, take turns to collect resources from the board or steal them from other players. One player knows where the meteor will hit, so decide if and who to share this information with. To win, gather enough resources, prepare your rocket, and survive one more round without getting robbed or blown up. Note: Alliances can change quickly, so be careful who you trust. Since the meteor can change the map and damage rockets, keep an eye on the board. There's no need for special maintenance as it's a board game, just store it in a dry place when not in use to keep the components in good condition.
