Xorakus

Your spaceship, the Daedalus, has crashed on the planet Xorakus! You must work together to explore this alien world, find resources, repair your ship, and escape with your lives.

The crew has many characters to choose from, each with their own special abilities and a unique set of base skills. You can customize your character by gaining cards from their improvement deck.

Explore or scout new territory by placing hexagon tiles from a variety of terrain categories. Then reveal the corresponding Encounter cards (Items, Enemies, Events, etc.) that could either help or hinder your efforts. Once each round, activate native Xorakians and other enemies with a card from the Movement deck. Track the Xorakian Body Count with the Status Display Dial, but be careful; as the kills begin to mount your ability to communicate with them will slip away.

You’ll have to stay on mission and gather resources like fuel, electronics, and machine parts, which are necessary to fix the damaged systems of your spaceship.

Once everything has been repaired the players must make it back onboard and blast off to win the game of Xorakus!
