You juggle repair and defense with a unique crew, racing against alien attacks in a tense, cooperative scramble to survive.

What players say
Players say the digital version faithfully recreates the board game with good music and voice acting, but the UI feels cluttered and the game is very hard, with early randomness heavily affecting outcomes. It is single-player only, though some use Remote Play Together to play with friends.
