Curiosity

Players act as a rogue operator inside a space agency’s mission control, issuing commands to a planetary rover to find valuable mineral deposits on an alien landscape. On a turn, a player either sends a movement/scan command to the rover at a chosen coordinate or places a study marker in the area. Only the third or fourth command sent to each coordinate is executed when the rover arrives, so timing and prediction matter. Revealed tiles show mineral deposits or remnants of past failed missions; players score for deposits while trying to conceal any discovered failures tied to their agency. The game centers on planning, bluffing, and timing command resolution to secure the richest locations.
