Description
Two stranded teams of astronauts face off in a tournament of mini-games that's scored like a tug-of-war. Players fight over the remains of their landing craft, held ransom by the local aliens. Through brain teasers, social manipulation, dexterity challenges and more, one team will earn the right to put their ship back together and blast off for Earth! The other team will get ritually sacrificed.
