About the Game

In Dead Star, players become a space miner, collecting resources around a star and storing them in your ship. Depending on how you store the resources in your ship's cargo hold, grouping similar resources together or connecting them with resources from neighboring containers, you will achieve a more or less optimized score. In addition, our cargo hold allows us to use actions to move our rivals or modify the value of our cards.

You have a map with a dying sun that has become a dark star with great gravity that will attract us towards it. And another, calmer map where you will orbit safely around a young sun with planets full of resources. Both maps have mechanics for reusing cards from our discard pile, allowing us to combine several actions.

Players will move their ships around the corresponding sun, without being able to occupy the same planet and using their cards with different movements and powers. The game will end when the players run out of cards in their hands.
