Astronots – Betrayal Awaits is a social deduction party game where you are sent on a space mission to discover a new habitable planet for humankind when you realize something odd: You've been hijacked by alien parasites. Players are divided into two distinct teams and are racing each other to victory. The game takes place in a series of rounds where players will pick and play cards from other player's hands in order to achieve their team's goal. The Crew musts play two Serum cards in order to neutralize the extraterrestrial threat, whilst the Parasites must play five Contagion cards to win the game. In Astronots – Betrayal Awaits, it is forbidden to play your own cards. Players pick and play cards from others' hands. You will need to decipher who's friend or foe, all the while convincing the other players that you have the cards that will lead their team to victory. Other than the Serums and Contagions, these cards will let you learn information about other players, counter certain strategies, and change how the game itself is played. -description from designer
