Asteroid

Asteroid is a 1980 Science fiction board game published by Game Designers' Workshop (GDW) as one of their 120 series. Players must destroy a mad scientist's computer-controlled asteroid before it crashes into Earth. Gameplay Asteroid is a two-player game designed by Marc Miller and Frank Chadwick in which a mad scientist has programmed a computer-controlled asteroid to crash into the Earth, resulting in an extinction level event, and only one spaceship is able to intercept the asteroid and try to save the world. One player must put together a team of adventurers — accompanied by Sasha the dog — that will try to overcome the computerized defenses of the asteroid and start the self-destruct sequence that will destroy the asteroid. The other player arranges eight geomorphic tiles to represent the asteroid's cave system and controls the asteroid's robotic defenses. There are several special rules for various personality interactions. For example, Sasha the dog hates a person called Carter, and will not go through any door that Carter has opened.
