Description

You are a space amoeba. Absorb energy and evolve to be the dominant slime of the galaxy!

Hmm... who am I fooling? It's an abstract competitive puzzle solving game for 2-4 players with theme stretched as thin as the space itself.

Winner

The first player to remove all his/her cubes wins.

Game Play

Players do one action in their turn. Each player has four possible actions -- two are common, and two are determined by player's dice for the entire game. A player must use each action once before he/she can reuse actions (or he/she can pass to "reset" actions).

Try It Out?

There's an PnP version in the downloads (you need your own set of components though).

There's a mod at Tabletop Simulator.

Background

Inspiration for the game came from Ricochet Robots and Primordial Soup. In the former you move in straight lines until something stops you; and in the latter genetic mutations give "amoeboids" different skill sets to compete with each others.

Misc

This was designed for Community Anthology Challenge.
