Description

Mars Escape Party Rumble is a take that, party style card game for 3-8 players.
You've crash landed on Mars and need to gather parts to escape. You must out damage your friends in a huge betting war using weapons found around the crash in order to beat the aliens and take their ship parts. This is easier said than done, as everyone will be collecting sci-fi inspired items and weapons from the crash to give them the advantage, or to drag you down before you can escape. First astronaut to get the required number of ship parts wins the game!
