In first, every player receive a secret identity (one E.T. card and one Ship card). Players create a line of 4 cards to create the planet where we must land. Players receive 4 cards.On his turn a player must place a card above this planet. In the end of the game, each E.T. or Ship in a good landing position give one point for his owner! But be careful, some cards are "armed" and will eliminate all cards around with the same ship or the same E.T!
