A fast-paced, competitive, space challenge for 2-4 players. You are a Nova Raider, part prospector and part pirate, in this space age race for riches. Compete with other Raiders to collect the valuable energy crystals surrounding an unstable star. Grab as much as you can before the expanding star consumes everything in its path, including you. Use your dice to Hop between Teleports or fly around the Orbit Rings to collect Energy Crystals. Gather these crystals under your ship and try to bring them back to your Space Dock before somebody Hijacks your cargo. The time track is constantly moving forward, triggering the addition of more energy and the dangerous expansion of the star. The expanding star consumes everything in its path, until it goes Super-Nova, ending the game. Whoever collects the most energy before the Star goes Super-Nova will win the game. —description from the designer
