Meteor

About this board game

Meteor is a real-time cooperative resource-management card game for 1-6 players, designed to play in about 15 minutes. A storm of meteors is heading toward Earth, and the players must work together to stop them before time runs out.

The game unfolds against an urgent five-minute countdown to impact. Each player manages a hand of cards and a build area while the meteor cards wait in the center of the table. Working cooperatively, players construct rockets and launch them at the approaching meteors.

Success depends on coordination, resource management, and quick decisions. The threat continues to close in as players organize their cards, complete rockets, and send them toward the meteors. If even one meteor gets through the defenses and hits the planet, life as we know it is over.

• Real-time play: Build and launch rockets while the clock is ticking.
• Cooperative challenge: Everyone must contribute to the effort to save the planet.
• Card-driven action: Manage hands of cards and shared or individual build areas.
• High-stakes objective: Destroy all the meteors before any one of them reaches Earth.

In the six-player game, build areas are shared, creating an especially collective challenge. The Mayday Games edition includes more cards and additional gameplay options than the earlier edition; that version supports 1-5 players, while the Game Crafter edition supported 1-6 players.

Meteor delivers a compact test of teamwork under pressure. Every game asks the same urgent question: can the players build enough rockets and destroy all the meteors before the final impact?
