About the game
How far would you go to save yourself? Totally selfish behaviour and utter ruthlessness will be needed to stay alive in this game! Only one astronaut can get home on the remaining oxygen supplies and you must battle against wormholes, asteroid fields, laser blasts and most dangerous of all, each other, to win! Full of clever puns and pop culture references, this ruthless strategy card game includes 5 player cards, 1 spaceship card, 42 space cards, 48 oxygen cards, 30 game cards, a place marker and instructions. —description from the publisher Each astronaut starts with a hand of 5 Game Cards which contain a mixture of Oxygen and Action Cards. On your turn, pick up a card from the Game card pile which is formed of Action cards and Oxygen. Action cards allow you to attack other players by stealing precious Oxygen, moving them back a space or shielding yourself from other players attacks! You can then use your Oxygen cards to move forward through the dangerous void of space. Each time you move forward you reveal a space card which can help or harm you! Get back to the ship first to win, but remember to keep enough oxygen or you'll die...

Questions and answers
Selfish: Space Edition supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Selfish: Space Edition is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Selfish: Space Edition for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Selfish: Space Edition has a complexity rating of 1.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Selfish: Space Edition belongs to these categories: Card Game, Humor, and Science Fiction. Its main mechanics are Take That and Player Elimination. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.
