Asteroid Field

What is Asteroid Field

Asteroid Field is a chaotic solitaire card game in which you are the computer of the autonomous miner spaceship A-438 that works in the asteroid belt. Your mission is transport the mineral from the base asteroid to the artificial storage planetoid with the minimum cost.

The players form a board of 5 x 4 cards as the asteroid field. The game goal is to cross the asteroid field without being destroyed while using the smallest quantity of fuel. If the ship is destroyed or the fuel runs out, the player loses. The player can try to improve his marks crossing the field spending less fuel units.

The player uses a token as spaceship to cross the field, he can change the ship's speed and direction. In each turn, asteroids disposition in the field changes chaotically according the rules. There are cards to control speed and fuel consumption.

The only randomness in Asteroid Field is the card order. This game is chaotic because despite having all the data it will be hard to predict the result of the game.
