colored backgrounds. Start
placing the pcs. touching the
Base Line and then growing
out from there. Once the Rocket
Base and/or the Satellite Base is
covered the player may place a
piece a piece next to an op-
ponents, placing a plastic
[crossed out] rocket or satellite on the
piece and then may grow from
it. Once the Astronaut Base
is completely covered the player
may move an astronaut, over
his own territory to any piece
and place it there. The op-
ponent may not place a piece
next to this piece.
Both Players keep working at the same time until all spaces the field
(except those spaces mutally blocked by Astronauts) are covered.

transparant and in three colors: red, blue, and yellow.
Each player in turn places a square, except that he can't
use the same color as that uses by the opponent. 2 play.
A piece can be played on top of another single piece to

or a small square 2 x 2 square of one color. Also win by getting
