Space Drifters

The astronauts on the space station »Trimenz 5« are having a day off for the weekend. To distract their boredom they take a race around the station. Because they only have limited control over their drift direction, they try to help themselves with little asteroid pieces they throw away to use the kickback for the direction the want. Space Drifters is a dice-driven race game. But in this game the dice do not determine the length of the moves, but the direction of the move on a hexgrid. Each players rolls 3 dice per turn and has to use at least 2 of them for the move. On the control bar there are 5 fields where they can place the dice. These fields determine how much the number on the die is altered and how far the astronaut can go with that die. Published in Spielbox 5/2009 and in the English Spielbox 1/2010.
