Good Little Martian

A cooperative survival game for 1–2 players, set during a stranded astronaut’s wait for rescue on Mars. One player manages the Martian’s dwindling Food, Energy, and Shelter, while the other operates Mission Control from Earth and guides the rescue ship. Players use multi-purpose cards and a six-sided die to handle malfunctioning equipment, solar storms, survival needs, and the ship’s progress. Mission Control must balance sending instructions with keeping the rescue mission on course; the Martian survives if the ship arrives before any crucial resource is depleted.
