Description
A Roll-and-Write Rescue Game Against the Clock
In the year 1972, SAGA (The Space and Aeronautics Global Alliance) successfully completed the first ever hyperspace trip to Mars. But celebrations were cut short when the crew of the Mercury 3 rocket missed their reentry window and an explosion damaged the ship. Now, you must work together to bring the rocket and the crew home safely.
Mission Control: Critical Orbit is an asymmetric, cooperative, roll and write, real-time rescue adventure. One player is the Aethernaut Flight Commander, and up to 3 players take on the roles of Flight Controllers. Each Controller needs to generate tools for the Aethernaut player to restore oxygen and critical systems to the damaged rocket before the 20-minute timer runs out.
