About this board game
Selfish: Space Edition is a ruthless strategy card game for 2–5 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. Race through the dangerous void of space, manage your dwindling oxygen, and do whatever it takes to be the only astronaut who gets home.
Each astronaut begins with a hand of five Game Cards containing a mixture of Oxygen and Action Cards. On your turn, draw from the Game card pile, then use your cards to advance or hinder the other players. Oxygen lets you move forward, while Action Cards can steal precious oxygen, move an opponent back a space, or shield you from attacks.
Every step forward reveals a Space Card, and these discoveries can help or harm you. Wormholes, asteroid fields, laser blasts, and rival astronauts all stand between you and the spaceship. The central challenge is to move quickly while keeping enough oxygen to stay alive.
In Selfish: Space Edition, survival depends on timing, card use, and utter ruthlessness. Clever puns and pop culture references add character to a tense race in which cooperation is not the goal and only one astronaut can reach safety on the remaining oxygen supplies.
