    Description

    OFFICER: “Captain! What’s that?”
    CAPTAIN: “Dear God! Something’s torn that
    planet in half!”
    OFFICER: “We’re taking damage from the
    debris.”
    CAPTAIN: “Take evasive manoeuvres!”
    OFFICER: “I’m picking up multiple life forms
    spawning from the epicentre.”
    CAPTAIN: “That’s the Skurge! A self replicating
    biological nightmare destined to consume
    every other living entity! We need to get to
    Earth and warn them. There’s a jump gate 5
    systems away; set a course!”
    OFFICER: “What about the outer colonies?”
    CAPTAIN: “We’ll have to save what we can.
    Let’s GO! GO! GO!”

    An entity of pure evil, known as the Skurge, has been released and now it's played job to reach the jump gate at the end of the map.

    In the game, each turn you race across the map, collecting resources and spending resources to gain better items. At the end of the game, the player with the most valuable items wins.

    You start the game at the planet where the Skurge appear. On your turn you will move to the next planet. Sometimes you have a choice of which planet to move to. If the planet has not been visited you will only see partial information about what resources you may need at that planet.

    Once at the planet you will execute one of the three action tracks available to you. These actions will sometimes give you resources, or you may need to spend resources to obtain more valuable items or repair your ship.

    After the actions have been performed, the Skurge advance. If the Skurge reach a player's location, they are eliminated and the game ends.

    So it's imperative that you both make it to the jump gate before the Skurge get you!
