Honest Quarks Games Earth Gambit: Light

Earth Gambit: Light is a team-based game where players take on the following roles:

• Aliens who want to conquer Earth
• Scientists fighting for survival
• Extinctionists who want to rid Earth of all intelligent life

The game deck consists of a mix of differently colored science cards and action cards. A team wins when a certain number of its science cards have been played.

To achieve their goals, players can also use psycho-weapon or psycho-defense cards and hinder their opponents with various action cards.

The catch lies in the limited choices available to players each round: from the three cards in their hand, they must play one card and pass one card to the next player. However, they do not necessarily know who they are giving the card to.

The identities of all players are hidden, but it is not purely a social deduction game. Even though the players' identities become clearer after a few rounds, winning does not necessarily become easier (nor does it make the game less entertaining) – hence it is referred to as a social adventure game.
