For 1000s of years there has been peace in the Felix Nebula. But now cosmic mice have attacked the precious home of the Astrocats and now you must fight to save the galaxy.

Round by round, you must assemble crews of Astrocats to complete missions around the Felix Nebula, repairing catalites, launching Furrton Torpedoes and rescuing stray cats in space.

Who can defend the Felix Nebular the best?

May the best Astrocat win

The Game

Round by round, you must assemble crews of Astrocats to complete missions around the Felix Nebula from Repairing Catelites to launching Furrton Torpedoes or even rescuing stray cats in space. Each round is made up of five phases:

Phase 1: The Mission Brief

Phase 2: The Mission Update

Phase 3: The Crew Reveal

Phase 4: Catastrophie?

Phase five: Scoring…

…and repeat

Setup:

1. Shuffle the AstroCats, Mission, and Situation decks separately.
2. Place the Mission deck on one side of the gameplay area
3. Place the Situation deck on the opposite side
4. Set the Catryllion Crystals in a pile off to one side.

Phase 1: The Mission Brief

1. The dealer deals 5 Astrocat cards to each player, face down. Players may look at their own cards once all Astrocat cards have been dealt.
2. The dealer then draws 3 Mission cards, face up, into the centre of the gameplay area.
3. Each player chooses up to 2 Astrocat cards to place in the game play area.

Selecting Your Astrocat Crew

• You MUST match the mission of your Astrocat and a mission that has been drawn (match the colour 🟣)
• A BOUNS is to match the cat in ADDITION to the Mission (match the colour 🟣 and the cat😺)
• If you have no matches, then you cannot put anything down ❌. Likewise, if you have 1 match, you can only put one down.
• You MUST ✅ play cards if you can, you ‼️ CANNOT withold playing cards in phase 1 if you are able to play.

WE WILL HAVE SOME IMAGES HERE SOON!

Phase 2: The Mission Update

Once all players have confirmed ✅ they are finished with phase 1, then phase 2 begins.

1. Turn over 2 more Mission cards, now making 5 mission cards in total in the centre of the gameplay area
2. Players can place up to 2 additional ➕Astrocats under available mission cards - includes missions from phase 1
3. You MUST ✅ continue to match Missions and Cats as per Phase 1
4. Remember, no more than 4 Astrocats can be in your crew at the end of the battle.

Beware!

You can only place up to 2 Astrocats in each phase. If you only place 1 AstroCat in the first part, you cannot ❌ place more than 2 in the second part. Choose wisely!

Phase 3: The Crew Reveal

All players flip over their cards to reveal the crews assembled for the Missions. Discard any remaining Astrocats in your hand, ready to be reshuffled in the next round. ♥️ ♠️ ♦️♣️ 🟣 🔵 🟢

Phase 4: Catastrophe?

1. The dealer deals out Catastrophie cards, face down to each player based on how many ？markers are on their Astrocat crew. DO NOT LOOK until its your turn!
2. Once dealt. The dealer goes first to reveal their Catastrophe cards, one by one.
3. If you cannot play 🙅🏼‍♀️your Catastrophe card, pass it onto the next player who can play it.
4. If a Catastrophe requires you to remove an Astrocat, flip your Astrocat card face down in the game play zone ❌
5. If a Catastrophe requires you to remove a Mission card, all players with cards matched to that mission are removed.

Beware!

Catastrophe cards can affect all players; be sure to follow the instructions carefully on the cards.

Phase 5: Catryllion Crystals

• Collect 1 Catryllion Crystal for each Mission that you have matched successfully (basically one per car unless you accidentally got one wrong!)
• Collect an additional point for each double match of a Mission AND Astrocat
• Some cards have additional points attached to them. With these, take the normal points, then take the additional points the card states.
• Remember to collect any points from your Catastrophe cards!

The Next Round

Once Phase 1-5 have been completed, you repeat this whole process for 5 rounds in total. Each round, you should pass the dealer's duties to the next person.

End of Game

The end of the game will be after 5 rounds, which - if you've played it right - will be once the Mission cards have run out.

Whoever has the most Catryllion Crystals WINS!!
