Theming: What’s the point?
Race against time to repair a failing spaceship before it is consumed by a black hole.
Solo pressure
The theme is a real-time emergency: decisions must be made before time runs out, not after a leisurely optimisation.
Setting up: How to get started?
A verified official rulebook was unavailable when this page was prepared. Follow the physical rulebook for system, card, and timer setup.
Prepare before starting the timer
Read and arrange every component required by the physical rulebook before time begins. Do not start a real-time game while still interpreting setup.
Rounds and Phases
A verified official rulebook was unavailable. This is a real-time solo game, but this page does not specify the order in which systems are repaired or cards are resolved.
Rules question protocol
Agree before the timer starts how to handle a rules question: pause only if the physical rulebook permits it, otherwise make the fastest reasonable reading and continue.
Scoring
The central outcome is whether the ship is repaired before the timer expires. Consult the physical rulebook for its exact win, loss, and any performance conditions.
Do not add a score
No verified source supports an additional score or ranking procedure here.
Terminology
Systems: parts of the ship requiring repair. Timer: the real-time pressure. Black hole: the impending failure represented by the timer.
Repair
Use the physical rulebook’s definition of a completed repair; visual intuition is not a rules test.
Official rules

Limitation
