Earth Gambit: Light

 15.00 inc. VAT

In this game, you will play as the Aliens, the Scientists, or the Extinctionists, who each have very different plans for Earth and the course of the Earthlings’ science. Advance the science by playing science cards, stall your opponents by playing action cards, and share your research by passing cards to other players, but who can you really trust? Can you make the right choice if there is no good choice at all?
Time is limited, options even more so. Draw one, play one, pass one, and keep one for the future (if there will be one). Don’t think too hard, it’s not chess, it’s just the fate of Earth, that’s in your hands.

Guaranteed Safe Checkout

Earth Gambit: Light is a team-based game, and players play as either the Aliens who want to conquer the Earth, the Scientists who fight for existence, or the Extinctionists, who want to rid the Earth of any intelligent life.

The playing deck is a mix of different coloured science cards and action cards. Team wins when a certain amount of science cards of that team has been played. To achieve their goals, players can also use psych weapon or psych defence cards, and stall their opponents by playing other different action cards.

The catch is in the limited choice players have on their turn: from the 3 cards they have in their hand, they must play one card, and pass one card to the next player, but they don’t necessarily know who they are giving the card to. The identities of all players are hidden, but it is not really a social deduction game per se, as although it might become quite clear who is who after a few rounds, it doesn’t make the winning much easier (or the game less enjoyable) – so we call it a social adventure game.
