Stellar Drift: Pull & Write [KS]

Stellar Drift: Pull & Write is a roll-and-write game about repairing your broken spaceship for 1 to 5 players. Each player is the captain of their own heavily damaged ship, drifting in orbit around an unstable white dwarf star. The captains must quickly conduct emergency repairs to their ships using whatever materials they can find, before the star decides to go nova and wipe them all out. Stellar Drift is played over seven rounds. At the beginning of each round, the players draw random colored cubes out of a shared central bag. These cubes represent the resources the players have that round. Each player may then spend those cubes to move around their ship, conducting repairs as they go. Each player has their own separate game sheet with a spaceship-shaped grid on it, and squares in this grid are marked off as the players move through them. Play is simultaneous, players are all pulling cubes from the bag and marking off their sheets at the same time. Each ship grid square costs some cubes of specific color(s), and gives the player rewards in the form of movement on their 'ship status' tracks, which gives various benefits such as more resources, special abilities, and victory points. At the end of the seven rounds, players tally up the victory points they scored for successfully restoring the various ship systems. Most points wins! A game of Stellar Drift typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes, regardless of the number of players. Stellar Drift is intended for players ages 14 and up. —description from the publiser
