A strategic card game about upgrading software before everyone explodes.

About Tjusju

Collect 15 cards of the same color in your “pocket”, or have the largest group when the deck runs out.

You are students of the Galactic Academy of Explorations (GAE, pronounced “gay”), sent on your first assignment: terraforming a planet. Finally, you get to land your extremely expensive spaceship on an untouched world and improve it by reshaping millions of years of ecosystems to better match your perfectly reasonable preferences. Surely this will have no consequences.

About one month into your journey, the ship computer DAL 7000 calmly announces:
 “Minor software upgrade required. Self-destruct in T–10 if upgrade 
not installed.” You rush to the upgrade console. The solution is simple: Collect 15 pieces of material. DAL 7000 will handle the rest. To keep this mildly life-threatening situation fun you turn it into a race. The student that
completes the upgrade first gets the remote for the hyper-plus diamond-infotainment remote for a week! Assuming you survive. And if you don’t…at least one of you came very close.
