Mission Control: Critical Orbit

The year is 1972. Space agency SAGA has just completed the very first hyperspace jump to Mars. Time to celebrate, until things went wrong. The crew of the Mercury 3 missed their window to return and an explosion damaged the ship. Now the rocket is drifting helplessly in orbit around Earth, with the crew still on board. And you? You and your friends have to bring them safely home. Mission Control: Critical Orbit is a cooperative roll-and-write adventure that plays out in real time. The clock really is ticking. One player takes on the role of the Aethernaut, the flight commander fighting on board to repair the damage. The other players are flight directors on Earth, each with their own task. They earn the tools the Aethernaut needs to get the oxygen and the most important systems running again. Everyone plays a different role, and that is exactly why you all need each other so badly. Can the Aethernaut build a working path with the puzzle pieces within twenty minutes? Then you bring the crew home and win together. Does time run out? Then the Mercury 3 explodes in orbit and everyone loses. An exciting game for two to four space rescuers, with an ending that puts you all on the edge of your seat.
