In this co-operative futuristic board game for two or more, one player takes the role of Mission Control, and the others take control of a Cadet stranded on a heavily-damaged space station set to self-destruct. You will need to use wits and cunning to interpret the instructions as they will not be delivered in order! Figure your way through the objectives before time runs out!

DESCRIPTION: a 5×5 Grid of tiles with stations and objects scattered randomly, some broken, comprise the game board. Individual instructions are provided by Mission Control to the Cadet team, but shuffled before revealed. The Cadet team must deduce what the correct interpretation of the instructions are. Too many mistakes and time will run out!

GAMEPLAY: Asymmetrical/Co-operative. One player is Mission Control, feeding instructions to the rest of the players who act as a single team controlling the Cadet meeple on the Board. Mission Control will have a list of objectives to complete, and may only be able to communicate to the Cadet by use of command cards providing simple instructions to move East, West, North, or South, or to Collect or Drop objects. Each round a card will tell Mission control how many of these cards to give to the Cadet, but they are randomized before they are turned over. Work co-operatively, but without speaking, to figure out the solution within the allotted number of rounds.
