The verdict

A brutal, short solo dice-based board game about surviving a doomed trip to Mars. Skip it if you hate RNG or run modern Windows without the beta workaround.

Great for

Fans of solo board games and risk management who accept losing a lot to dice

Main risk

Heavy dice luck feels unfair, and the game may crash on startup on modern Windows

What players love

Tense risk-management decisions

Mentioned in ~1 in 3 positive reviews

“The real depth comes from figuring out which disasters to ignore, how to chain crew abilities together, and when to sacrifice hull integrity for food dice”
