In Ticket to Mars, each player must evacuate as many people as possible in the last rockets leaving Earth: but not just anyone. The game takes place in several rounds. In each round the players will have 3 objectives of their own. Everyone plays with the same 5 cards (a different suit per player), these cards will allow you to get into the rockets, move them from one rocket to another, or even get them out. The last "countdown" card, allows you to retrieve all your played cards but advances the general countdown. At the end of the run when the countdown reaches 0 everyone reveals these objectives and scores points based on them. The winner is the one who reaches the first 30 points.
Contents of the box : 1 game board, 5 score discs, 1 countdown marker, 30 crew tokens, 18 objective cards, 25 action cards, 1 rule book.
