Voyage to Anomalous

Voyage to Anomalous is a fast, cooperative sci-fi card and dice game for 1–6 players. You are a crew that takes on unique roles aboard a starship, working together to survive the perils of deep space on their way to the mysterious Anomalous Station. Every voyage is a desperate push through danger, with choices that test the limits of teamwork, planning, and luck. Each game begins by choosing a ship, each with different health values and sometimes unique traits. The higher the ship’s starting health, the easier the journey. A deck of 20 Voyage cards is built with Anomalous Station placed at the bottom, your destination. The crew must endure events, attacks, and make repairs as they chart their way through the void. On each turn, players assign a Role to face the top card of the deck. Using five dice, they attempt to match the card’s combo, aided by their Role’s special abilities. A win flips the card to its green side, granting healing or upgrades, while a failure flips it to red, leaving scars of damage that drag the ship closer to ruin. Roles exhaust as they are used, forcing the crew to balance timing and strategy until all are refreshed again. Victory comes only if the ship survives long enough to reach Anomalous Station. Compact enough to fit in a pocket tin but layered with tough decisions, Voyage to Anomalous delivers a complete cooperative sci-fi adventure in under an hour. —description from the publisher
