The Dead Eye

Play as a lone thermo-bandit stranded on a hostile backwater planet, seeking the next safe haven and a chance to escape. This solo adventure card game uses Encounter cards that resolve into one of two Outcomes: Good (driven by Juice) or Bad (driven by Heat). The player manages two resources—Heat and Juice—while cycling through a starting draw deck of cards that can either modify those resources or become the Encounters themselves. Players face hazards, salvage Parts, and try to balance risk and reward to reach a safe Haven before Heat overwhelms them. Includes a short prelude comic, rules, a fold-out board, stereoscopic glasses, and a deck of unique Encounter cards.
