Planetoid

Players act as space miners scanning and drilling a small asteroid field to collect valuable resources and claim bonuses. On a turn a player may Drill to take a tile and reveal adjacent tiles, Scan to peek at two tiles and charge a secondary drill for later, or Move to return accumulated resources to the cargo bay—matching a held collection to one of eight active bonus cards awards that bonus. Play ends when all tiles are revealed or all bonuses are claimed; highest point total wins. An advanced mode adds an energy economy for taking multiple or larger actions, system damage that disables oversized actions until repaired, and hidden personal bonuses for additional strategic depth.
