You are part of the crew of the space ship USCN KRONOS. The ship is on fire, and there is a massive predatory alien hunting you through the corridors. The captain is panicking, the pilot is injured, and the ship's cat is missing. You must help them all, unlock the lifeboat, and get to it before the alien becomes enraged and kills you.

Escape the Kronos is a single-player card game that you play in your hand. Print out the 13 cards provided and follow the actions to move them and turn them to escape the alien and move through ship modules. Escape the Kronos takes seconds to set up and minutes to play. All the instructions come on one sheet, or one pocket book you can print and fold yourself!

Just confused with this instruction: 

"If an action would move a card

further than the front or back of your hand, that card just stays at the front

or back of your hand."

Does that mean you cannot take that set of actions, since you cannot move the the card as instructed?

Ah good question!

You can still do the rest of the actions, it's just that if any card would be moved beyond the front or back, it would stop instead. So like if an action on the card moved the alien forward 3, and the alien is 2 cards back from the front of your hand, it would move to the front of your hand then stop. Hope that makes sense!
