Description

Micro Mars is a roll-and-write game of open space adventure and exploration. Each player is the starship's captain and requires a single printed game sheet, a pencil, and two dice.

In order to move about the map, roll 2 dice. In the route, the field finds the figures for the dropped values. Since you have two figures, you are able to combine them into one in the planning field. Then, you can put it on the map as a completed figure, so that will be your move.

During your move, you must avoid meteorites and asteroids. The game's main aim is to collect 5 repair parts for your spaceship. If you are lucky, you can stumble upon an oxygen balloon, which may help you along the way. Remember that you have only 13 moves.
