This is a prototype I was toying with a few years ago. I really liked how quick turns were in Ethnos with the choice of single cards and building sets so I tried to use that concept and feel in a game that added a bit of pressure and tension to the push your luck mechanic.

Thematically I was going for a pulpy scifi where players are running drone miner bots around an exploded moon. Players are harvesting volatile crystals from the moon and packing them into a some sort of containment field on their small ship in order to ferry the gems to the nearby space station for payment. Sometimes your containment field fails catastrophically.
