In Solar Storm, you are crew members on board a ship that has had its energy core damaged out by solar flares. Even worse, the ship is caught in the sun’s gravitational pull which causes even more damage. It is only a matter of time before you and the rest of the crew die.

You and the other crew members must repair your ship whilst using resources to divert what little power is left, back to the energy core. You must work together if you have any chance of survival. Get going. You have limited resources and solar flares are continuously causing more damage. Can you make it through this Solar Storm, or will you perish in the burning abyss?

On a player’s turn, they can take up to 3 of the following actions; move, use resources to repair an area of the ship, use resources to divert power from an area back to the energy core, scavenge for resources, share resources, or strategically save actions for later in the game.

At the end of every player’s turn, the ship will take more damage. The level of damage will increase as the game progresses. Players win if they are able to direct power from all areas back to the energy core. However, players lose if an area takes too much damage or if the resource deck runs dry.

Solar Storm gives players a unique game every time they play due to the ship’s areas being laid out randomly at the start of each game. In Solar Storm, cooperative play is critical as players cannot win on their own.
