Players take the role of freelance space photographers who compete across three rounds to capture high-value shots on a shared 6×5 grid. Each round starts with hidden tiles in players’ hands. On a turn a player draws and places a tile, places the tile they hold, or places one of their numbered tokens (1–4) on an empty space. When the grid fills, each placed token scores: the token’s number is multiplied by the sum of values in its row and column, with special tiles able to nullify or split scoring lines. One-tokens are returned after scoring; higher-numbered tokens are removed for the rest of the game. The highest total score after three rounds wins.
