High-Level Project Summary
Space Mutant is a card game in which 2 to 6 players face each other with the objective of creating an organic biological being capable of surviving the different stresses (from now on called hazards) of random space bodies (atheroids, planets…).In the game, each player will try to get the right mutations to fulfill the properties of the planet in play, thus achieving a biological superhero. Space Mutant is for all ages and aims to teach the little ones that the ideal situations to have life in space are not always possible.For more information about the project, please, download the following documentation:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uYyG3MWcjD5b_nKLfcB4o9ltGIUhaUS8uYM_GGj_1KU

Hackathon Journey
The Space Apps experience was amazing, we created a cards game completely from scratch!
It was a very positive experience in which we could even ask other groups about feedback about how fun was the game, and we were able to deliver in time, which was incredible.
We selected this challenge because for us it looked very interesting, and at the same time we could think of something fun in which even the little ones at home could participate.
To make this project possible we've learned about space hazards and how different biological beings can survive to specific space stresses.

All the content was created by the team, including imagery, cards and game rules.
In terms of resources we subjected ourselves to what was disposed by the challenge webpage and some additional Wikipedia resources to learn about existing biological superheros.
