Description

In Pocket Rockets, you and your friends are astronauts building rockets to blast off into space. The game is simple to learn and can be explained quickly, making it easy to jump into a 20-minute game with 2 to 4 players. The goal is to build the most impressive rocket by collecting and combining different parts, such as bases, fuselages, and tips, which come in three different colors. As you move your astronaut pawn around the assembly plant circle, you'll choose from various actions like drawing cards, adding parts to your rocket, and collecting fuel tokens. Some rocket tips give you special privileges, and the fuel you collect early on is more valuable than what you get later. The game ends when the fuel runs out, and the player with the most completed fuselages wins. With its unique blend of action points and rondel mechanics, Pocket Rockets is a fun and fast-paced space exploration card game that's easy to pick up and play.
