Meteor Strike

Use Satellite and laser

Meteors targeting the moon! You are a spaceman and interested in the valuable meteors and want to capture them. You launch satellites to guide the meteors into your own Moon Base.

The game board is set up, at the beginning there are no satellites on the board. In your turn you roll the die. Depending on the result you have one of the following actions: You place a satellite on the board or relocate one already on the board, trying to ensure that meteors roll your way. Or you relocate or rotate a space station. Or you drop a meteor into the board using one of the entries and try to make it roll into your base. Or you could direct your laser at any satellite and destroy the satellite. If a meteor got stuck in a space station, you can no more relocate it, but you may still rotate it. If a meteor ends up in your base, your spaceman moves one step forward on the score track. If you have captured 10 meteors and your man has reached the end of the score track you win the game.

Variants stated in the rules change the probability on certain actions. The most interesting variant changes the aim of the game: Now meteors are no longer valuable but threaten your base, you need to deflect them. If you base has been hit 10 times, you lose the game.

The most impressive feature in this game is the board! Elements from Lego Technic make it foldable! Meteor Strike like the other titles offers the typical mix of well-known and well-working mechanisms with attractive components, well combined and featuring clever details. A very attractive game for two with a good mix of tactic and luck!
