This is the story of that 40-pound meteorite, and the colonies of Martian microbes which lived upon it, struggling to survive on their journey through the cold depths of space between Mars and Earth. And, no matter what planet you're from, there's always only one way to become the strongest. The natural way. Eat everyone else . Each player controls a single-colored colony of microbes, which moves and expands across the board in search of microbial food.
Multicolored stacks begin to form, of microbes eating microbes eating microbes.
Each player struggles to evolve the strongest colony before the meteorite finally enters the earth's atmosphere, and begins its long plummet into destiny. This stash should be visible to all players at all times during the game. It should also be visible to all players at all times. Select a starting player using any method desired. The play moves clockwise around the board.
