This is a very good risk management game. If you understand probabilities and can plan ahead - it should be down your alley. Also the soundtrack is fire

A great little game to play in little bursts. The mechanics are neat and it feels like a well thought out single player boardgame. It can get quite tricky on the higher difficulties =)

An incredibly punishing die-based game about the trip to Mars (and oh yeah, you'll die a lot on the way there). When some kind of incident impacts your ship, your crew must desperately move around the ship, using their precious dice rolls to cultivate food, heal themselves physically and emotionally, and repair damage before it kills your astronauts or destroys the ship. If you run out of food you can eat corpses: it's a pretty bleak game. The mechanics are challenging and punishing but consequently a successful run feels really, really good. There are some occasional bugs that can largely be avoided by not messing around with the dice in ways you shouldn't. Highly recommended sci-fi horror!
