To play Meteor, first, set up the game by placing the meteor cards in the center of the table. Each player gets a hand of cards and has a build area (which is shared in the six - player game). As the game starts, it's a real - time race. Work with other players to build rockets using the cards in your hand and launch them at the meteors before time runs out. Remember, if even one meteor hits the planet, you lose. When it comes to the different editions, note that the Mayday Games version is for 1 - 5 players and has more cards and extra gameplay options compared to the earlier editions. If you're playing with six people, you'll use the shared build area rule. Keep your cards organized during the game to make quick decisions. After playing, store the cards in a dry place to prevent damage. If you have any problems with the game or need advice on how to play better, don't hesitate to contact The Game Steward.
