About the Game

From the website:

Alien Game Pieces Choose any of 8 wild-looking aliens with different capabilities and personalities. Cogno himself? He’s just too cool. Meet the aliens!

Big, Mysterious Game Board Mystery Planets, a Black Hole, a Time Tunnel, a Space Elevator… there’s no game board like it on earth.

Chaos Cards “Chaos Card” science questions are way cooler than trivia questions. Use your imagination and the rest of your brain to figure them out!

The Parallel Universe Leave the main board and enter this strange place where anything can happen. You might get lucky and suck another player in!

Strategy Move forward or backward whenever you choose to help yourself or slow down other players! And use your greatest weapon wisely (the “Time Machine Token”)

Fuel Cells and Gear With luck and some good thinking, you can win Fuel Cells and high-tech Gear to help your alien survive Mystery Planets and win the game!
