Solar Storm

Players are crew members aboard a damaged ship caught in the sun’s gravity, racing to restore power before systems fail. On each turn a player takes up to three actions: move, repair hull sections with resources, divert power back to the energy core, scavenge for supplies, share resources with teammates, or hold actions for later. After each turn the ship suffers additional damage, and solar flares increase the threat as the game progresses. The layout of the ship is randomized each play, forcing players to coordinate resource use and repairs. The team wins by routing power from all areas to the core and loses if any section is destroyed or the resource deck is depleted.
