Trapped on a cargo ship in deep space, the crew scrambles to survive long enough to eject the alien before it kills everyone.

Gameplay

Each round you’re dealt two cards and play them to choose where you are on the ship and what you do. When the alien’s location is revealed, you’re trying to avoid being the one it reaches while pushing it toward a deadly airlock—sometimes at someone else’s expense.
