About the game

What is NOVA: Race from the Sun

On a turn, players have a variable number of actions to perform based on their Crew size. Actions include Mining (taking a resource die from their current planet or moon), Researching (gaining a technology card for new abilities), and Traveling (attempting a roll with resource dice to get to the next orbital location away from the sun). There are also interactive actions between players including Hacking (stealing a technology card), Spying (using another player's tech), and Attacking to steal a resource.

The ultimate goal is to escape the Sun's corona beyond Pluto and into the greater Milky Way with the highest number of crew.

The base game contains a Solar System board, 10 transparent corona covers, and over 75 dice in 8 different colors, 49 technology cards and 4 spaceship player markers.
