Astronaugthies: Dice to the Moon - How to Play (Updated)

About Astronaugthies: Dice Till The Moon, from BoardGameGeek:

Astronaugthies – Dice to the Moon OverviewA chaotic space race full of dice, crew upgrades, and unexpected twists. In Astronaugthies: Dice to the Moon, you roll your way through the galaxy with one goal: be the first to reach the moon by throwing a total of 26. Each turn you roll dice to gain height and draw cards: some helpful, some disastrous, and sometimes even a ticket to the mini-games. The more Astronaugthies you collect, the more dice you roll, but the more unpredictable your journey becomes. Each player can hold up to four Action cards, four Upgrade cards, and four Crew cards. Choosing what to keep and what to discard is key: it's how you craft your rocket. Do you focus on control, raw power, or reroll flexibility? Your upgrade strategy will make or break your mission. Upgrade your ship, recruit a crew of mischievous Astronaugthies, and encounter absurd cosmic nonsense like flying monkeys, floating washing machines, and reverse gravity zones. The first player to roll a total of 26 wins, but nothing in space goes according to plan. Mini-GamesMini-games break the rules entirely. You might find yourself in a duel, trying to knock over your opponent's dice tower, or racing to complete a dice pattern before someone else. These side challenges keep every game fresh and full of surprises.
