Apophis

13 April 2036. The asteroid 99942 Apophis nears its imminent impact with Earth. All previous efforts to prevent the collision have failed. In a last ditch effort, a team of scientists have gathered to construct enough rockets to destroy or alter the path of the asteroid before it becomes the cause of Earth's next mass extinction... Apophis is a real-time co-op Icehouse game that requires a single Rainbow stash of Icehouse pieces, a 6-sided die, a standard deck of playing cards and a timer. Players play cards from their hands to build components of a rocket. If it has enough fuel, they may launch it in attempt to destroy the asteroid Apophis before time runs out. Apophis was designed for the Spring 2009 Icehouse Game Design Competition.
