Quotes (from this video)
- Space is cruel and harsh but either by necessity or by ambition you are a void pilot.
- This is your legacy.
- The game happens in a series of runs; you go from run one to run eight; complete eight runs and you win the game.
- We will tally up victory points after run eight to see how well you did.
- Two characters, two besties perhaps lovers, sacrifice themselves together to allow you to turn the dice to any number that you need for that role.
