Description

Friendly parents on Mars are trying to escape to freedom on Earth, but the evil Martian politicians are turning them into mutants! You have just arrived in your rescue ships and are battling to save the parents. After all spaces are scratched, the player who has rescued the most pairs of Moms and Dads is the winner!

Decide who goes first. Take turns. Each turn scratch any 2 spaces on the planet. There are 4 different things you can find: A MOM, DAD, MARTIAN OR EXPLOSION. Match both spaces you scratched to see what happens:

Mom + DAD - Perfect match! Score one of each on your rescue ship and take another turn!

MOM + MOM - Score 2 Moms. You saved them!

DAD + DAD - Score 2 Dads. You saved them!

Martian + Mom or Dad - Oh no! Your opponent scores the Mom or Dad while you fight the Martian Off!

DOUBLE MARTIANS - Your opponent gets to take 2 turns in a row while you fight the Martians off!

EXPLOSION + ANYTHING - An explosion destroys whatever else you scratched. No points scored!

DOUBLE EXPLOSION - Awesome! Martians watch the fireworks while you take another turn!
