From BoardGameGeek
Nova Cry is an explosive sci-fi adventure. Each player chooses 1 ship, 1 captain, 3 crew members and 1 personal weapon as they set out into the danger-filled spaces of Gallator Seven. Will you explore creature-infested planets? Race an opponent to an undiscovered planet? Challenge another captain to a duel? Players will begin the game by creating a unique task force consisting of 1 captain, ship, weapon, and 3 crew members that will stay by them the entire game. Players score points by traveling to planet cards, winning duels, and performing actions using their available crew members, skilled in exploration, alien technology, medicine, psychology, repair, and ship upgrades. The first player to capture 15 victory points - or hold the last remaining ship - wins. It's all up to as you carve out a strategic path to victory in this remarkable world of heroes, villains, and awe-inspiring spaceships.
