Space Nostrum

General description

Your home planet is dying but recent discoveries have revealed that a mysterious material known as Ether can change your planet's fate. Your objective is to explore the nearby bodies, gather 4 units of this almost magical material and return it home in time. To accomplish this, there is at your disposal the fastest ship of the system and a specially selected crew of exceptional individuals.

Gameplay

Space Nostrum is a resource and crew manager game set in a far away star system.

-Exploration and challenges

Move your ship to reach the different planets. Once there, select the crew members you want to participate in the challenge. Every planet has a challenge and they are dice-based. Every crew member contributes with a particular dice depending on their primary and secondary professions:

• If the challenge matches the primary profession of a selected crew member, an 8 faced dice is given.
•  If the secondary profession matches, a 6 face dice appears.
•  If neither is true a 4 dice is instantiated. 

Once the dice are rolled, special powers can be applied in any order (+1,  reroll and max throw). If the roll exceeds or ties the difficulty of the challenge, the player receives a reward and if not, they suffer a penalty.

Important: You only have one attempt per challenge, so be sure to read the crew attributes and planet descriptions carefully. You can inspect these using the right mouse button.

After a challenge, all participating crew members become exhausted and cannot take part in the next challenge.Exhausted and wounded crew members can be treated in your home planet.

-Resources: 

Life Support: If it reaches zero your mission is over.

Energy: Used to activate special powers after rolls.

Ether: Collect 4 units and return them to your home planet to win.

Time: There's a time limit. If it runs out the mission is over.
