ASTRA: VESTIGES OF DEEP SPACE

In this expandable card game, players use pre-constructed and highly-thematic decks representing crew among unique starships, illustrated through gorgeous art by Norwegian artist Raymond Heggheim There were three primary pillars of development for Astra during the design process:

•Embracing a unique, interactive game system and departing from standard attack/defense mechanics.

As passionate and active card gamers ourselves, the two founding members of Paper Planet Games have played countless card games at a competitive level. We noticed parts of each of these games that we loved and wished there was a way to mix it all together. That's where Astra: Vestiges of Deep Space came in. What we came up with was FTL meets Magic: The Gathering. We left behind the idea of attack points and health values and, inspired by Android: Netrunner, imagined something entirely different. Instead, players manage the actions of the Crew Members on their starship while equipping their vessels with powerful weapons to take down the opposing crews.
