From BoardGameGeek
A meteoroid has struck the space station and left tools, data samples, and parts floating nearby. Complete 3 missions to retrieve the items and station fragments so the puffins can repair the station and make it home. Pocket Puffins: LiS is a solo only, 18 card game that uses grid movement and pattern building to complete missions. Players take the role of commander and move puffins in a grid to match the pattern on designated cards. Players must be swift with their commands because all missions must be completed before time runs out. Using another dimension than the original Pocket Puffins, Lost in Space is a challenging puzzle with adjustable difficulty and a 10 minute playtime. -description from the designer
