==Introduction==
 
13 April 2036. The asteroid 99942 Apophis nears its imminent impact with Earth. All previous efforts to prevent the collision have failed. In a last ditch effort, a team of scientists have gathered to construct enough rockets to destroy or alter the path of the asteroid before it becomes the cause of Earth's next mass extinction...
 
==Objective==
 
Either destroy or sufficiently alter the course of Apophis before time runs out.

==SetupObjective==
Either destroy or sufficiently alter the course of Apophis before time runs out. You do this by building pyramid towers of rockets. Each pyramid color represents a different part of the rocket.
 
Place a nested set of black Icehouse pieces on the middle of the table. This represents Apophis.
 
Set aside the deflection counters.
 
Remove 1 card of each suit from the deck and place them on the table. Place the pyramids, representing specific rocket sections, on the appropriate cards:

<br>Work together with your team to install the rocket parts by spending the corresponding cards, then launch your finished rockets at the asteroid.
 
 
==Setup==
'''Green - Clubs - Deflecting Warhead (Basic Rules) / Fail Safe (Advanced Rules)'''
*Place a nested set of black Icehouse pieces on the middle of the table. This represents Apophis.
 
*Set aside the deflection counters.
'''Red - Hearts - Nuclear Warhead'''
*Remove 1one card of each suit from the deck and place them on the table. Place the pyramids, representing specific rocket sections, on the appropriate cards:
 
'''Blue - Diamonds - Guidance System'''
 
'''Yellow - Spades - Booster Fuel'''
 
 
Shuffle the remainder of the cards and deal 3 to each player (4 if there are only 1-2 players).
Lastly, set the timer to the desired game length:
