Astro Antics

Astro Antics is a space race board game produced in 1961. The game is a simple roll and move of pieces that resemble Mercury capsules of the era. The object of the game is to be the first to make one full orbit of the earth and return safely. A player can get trapped into a circular path around a spiral Nebula which will delay their progress. Two sets of cards "Orbit Chances" and "Emergency Instructions" are in the game and players must obey the directions if instructed to do so. Some of the instructions like make an ugly face or sing a song are supposed to add fun to the game. —user summary
