Description

Simple, two-phase science-fiction game for 2-4 players, loosely based on Die Götter aus dem All comic series.

The first phase is a race to planet Orionus. Every player (up to two on each of the "rocket" and "ufo" sides) starts with six starships, and rolls a die to move, although one can choose which of the ships to move during their turn. Either shorter and harder or longer and easier route can be chosen. The ships can be destroyed by comets, monsters, or just crash during landing on the planet.

Only the ships that survived the race can take part in the second phase, played on a separate board that illustrates the surface of Orionus. This phase is more tactical, played "rockets" vs. "ufos", and the goal is to take over opponents' starting docs. It is possible to destroy enemy's ships by "landing" on them. The winner of the game is the person that will lock the most ships in opponents' starting docs.
