About the game
Lost in the vast and unforgiving cosmos, you are a wayward space traveler yearning to find your way back home. But the path ahead is treacherous and full of peril, for you must first find and activate the elusive homelinks that will guide you back to where you belong. The stakes are high, for failure to find and activate all four homelinks means certain doom in the unforgiving depths of space. To emerge victorious in Solus: Lost, your objective is to locate all four home links within the deck and activate them using their corresponding artifacts. These artifacts are safeguarded by four overlords that you must confront and defeat. In this game, you have two vital metrics to monitor: the damage to your ship and your pilot's age. During battles or specific scenarios, your ship may sustain damage, while your pilot's age will increase by increments of 10 years depending on certain situations. If either of these vital indicators reaches the ominous skull icon, you face defeat in the game. To commence the game, start by shuffling your deck and placing two cards face down. From these two cards, you must select one to reveal and resolve its contents. Afterward, transfer that card to its corresponding discard pile and replace it with another face-down card. Repeat this process, making your choice once more. The card you unveil might present a variety of outcomes, ranging from benevolent beings capable of repairing your pilot's age to asteroid fields, hostile starfighters, or even the menacing time eater. Engaging in combat involves rolling a twenty-sided die (D20) and following the damage scale to determine whether you, or the enemy sustains damage, or whether you both receive damage. 14 years+ | One Player | 20-30 minutes Box Contents: 1 deck of cards 20d Die 2 Plastic cubes Instructions
