How to Play Astronaut: Rules, Pace and Session Limits

Why “First-Orbit Exit” fits Astronaut: the astronaut rises while the multiplier increases until the mission ends. The feature “a simple mission timeline with a visible cash-out control” is used to execute the plan rather than to change direction during the animation. The checkpoint — every 6 rounds, pause for a minute, count the remaining units and confirm that the target still matches the written plan. — keeps each set comparable with the previous one.

Why “Three Altitude Checkpoints” fits Astronaut: the astronaut rises while the multiplier increases until the mission ends. The feature “a simple mission timeline with a visible cash-out control” is used to execute the plan rather than to change direction during the animation. The checkpoint — every 5 attempts, check that the milestone has not drifted because of the animation or a previous result. — keeps each set comparable with the previous one.

Why “Nine Missions, One Stake” fits Astronaut: the astronaut rises while the multiplier increases until the mission ends. The feature “a simple mission timeline with a visible cash-out control” is used to execute the plan rather than to change direction during the animation. The checkpoint — pause every 4 rounds and look at the actual block cost rather than the single most memorable result. — keeps each set comparable with the previous one.

Why “Return to Base After a Miss” fits Astronaut: the astronaut rises while the multiplier increases until the mission ends. The feature “a simple mission timeline with a visible cash-out control” is used to execute the plan rather than to change direction during the animation. The checkpoint — if the block needs 3 resets, end it regardless of the overall result. — keeps each set comparable with the previous one.

Why “Deep-Space Attempt” fits Astronaut: the astronaut rises while the multiplier increases until the mission ends. The feature “a simple mission timeline with a visible cash-out control” is used to execute the plan rather than to change direction during the animation. The checkpoint — halfway through, check whether you want to raise the stake or bring the target closer. Either change closes the experiment. — keeps each set comparable with the previous one.
