Lux Aeterna

“Mayday! Mayday! Can anybody hear me? Please answer! I amcaught in the gravitational pull of a black hole. Can you hearme...please? This is the Lux Aeterna spaceship! Mayday Mayday!I transmit my coordinates. We were on course past NGC 1277when a meteor hit. There was a bang...all systems are red.We are falling. We are falling towards the event horizon! Cananybody help me? Can you hear me?”

Your challenge in Lux Aeterna is to draw and play all of the cardsin the main deck, one turn after another, without the spaceshipcollapsing completely or falling into the black hole. Cards havemultiple functions; you will assign drawn cards to one each ofthese functions each turn:

• As damage to a system (with six systems available to you);
• As an action to help stay alive/fix the ship; or,
• As movement toward the black hole.

If a ship’s system collapses, the game will get harder for you; ifyou should repair a system, then you just might avoid the ultimatedoom.
