Players operate mining companies in a hostile outer-space environment, extracting minerals from asteroids while preparing for alien attacks. Each round, shared Power Dice and personal Rig Dice are rolled and paired to resolve workers placed at space stations and on the asteroid. Players expand their crews, acquire equipment and Neutronium bombs, and export minerals for credits. Alien ships begin patrolling once exports start, making worker actions more difficult. The game ends when three of the asteroid’s six resource nodes are depleted; the player with the most credits wins. Supports 1–5 players, with solo and cooperative rules.
