CRASH & GRAB

GAME SUMMARY

Re-live your favorite old school action game in a battle royale where you’ll race around the board in your flying saucer grabbing Crewmembers, Energy, and Boosters while avoiding – or crashing into – other saucers. You will use three types of movement to navigate the board: programmed, hidden, and tactical combo movement. Use the Energy you’ve collected to buy Upgrades for your ship so you can build your strategy around them. The first player to get a Pilot, Engineer, Doctor, and Scientist wins!

HOW TO PLAY

Choose Your Move

Each move card has a distance your Saucer will travel and a bonus. Choose your Saucer's direction by the corner you slide into your Saucer Mat. All players simultaneously choose which one they will play so no one is waiting around for your turn.


Rescue Crewmembers

Race around the board collecting Crewmembers and snagging them from other players. Use whatever means necessary to get yourself a Pilot, Engineer, Doctor, and Scientist so you can fully crew your Saucer and get off this planet!


Accelerate and Boost

Use Accelerators and Boosters to get where you're going faster and cause mayhem for your competition. Bump them around to mess up their plans or run them off the board entirely!


Upgrade Your Saucer

Build your strategy by using the Energy you've collected to upgrade your Saucer with unique abilities. Combo those Upgrades together for some supreme Saucer power!

OTHER FEATURES

Cute and Whimsical Aliens

Choose from 6 different alien races, beautifully illustrated by Loïc Billou. You can collect any player's aliens to win, but if you collect your own, nobody can steal them from you.


Random Board

Using random board tile sides and orientations create thousands of layouts. Variety in board layouts means you'll always be finding different ways to get around quickly. The playing area expands with higher player counts so you have just the right amount of elbow room as you fly around the board.


Programmed and Tactical Movement

Programming your movement a turn in advance leads to unexpected and hilarious moments. Choose to collect Energy for Upgrades, move at light speed with Boosters, or to crash other players' Saucers to steal their Crewmembers. Combo your moves with Accelerators to extend your reach.


Strategy and Luck

Build your strategy by creating synergies between your ship Upgrades. Dice rolls for turn order and spawn locations introduce an element of luck, so new players will always have a chance to win.


Thoughtfully Organized

Each set of player pieces fits in its own matchbox, which then fits snugly in the game box for easy and satisfying setup while keeping the game box in order. Even the inner game box has an organization guide so you know where each component goes.
