Space Movers is a cooperative science fiction board game adventure. As a
player, you become a crew member of the spaceship Liberty. Together, you and
your fellow crewmates will complete a series of objectives to win the game.
Sounds easy, right? Well, there’s a bit more to the game. Every turn, you
lose a resource from the Resource Bar on the board. If this ever reaches the
bottom, you will lose the game. The way to replenish resources is to deliver
cargo. You’ll be burning resources as you travel around the board to make this
happen. Still, not so hard. But quite often the evil UO Scout ship will appear
to chase you across the system in an attempt to interrogate one of your crew
members and temporarily remove them from the game. Each time they show up, a UO
Eye Marker is added to the planet the Liberty is located on and these are
tracked by a UO Presence bar on the board. If this ever reaches the top, you
lose the game. Now things are getting interesting. Just when you think you have
everything under control, you draw an Event card that prevents you from being
able to move Liberty or one that doubles the UO Scout ship’s movement on the
board.
So if you can manage all that and a few other surprises while completing those
objectives, you win Space Movers!
