High-Level Project Summary
We chose the “BUILD A SPACE BIOLOGY SUPERHERO” challenge.The idea is to create a board game in which players build their character step by step.Through tasks, players will get acquainted with the problems and dangers that await participants while traveling in space and on Mars, which animals, microorganisms, and insects can easily adapt to dangerous and hostile (extreme) conditions for humans and change their character accordingly.During the game, participants collect a biological superhero from the knowledge gained, which will be able to survive in any stressful situation.

Detailed Project Description
About the project: We chose the “BUILD A SPACE BIOLOGY SUPERHERO” challenge. We want to create a board game. It was originally inspired by “Dragons and Dungeons”, but later we specifically reworked most of the mechanics and we think we got something special. The essence of our game is to show the players that man is an animal that adapts relatively easily to new environmental conditions. Still, at the same time, man is not the most stable animal when it comes to conditions that affect him outside the earth, unlike animals that players will meet during their adventures.
Plot: Several astronauts, the number of which depends on the number of players, go to Mars to colonize it, but their space shuttle is joined by an alien spaceship who wants the astronauts to pass his tests, he explains to them that on Mars they will not survive, unlike various animals that live on planet Earth, it gives them the right to choose several animal abilities that have adapted or partially adapted to the harsh conditions on Mars. And he gives them an ultimatum, either they participate in this, or he blows up the sun, which will mean the end of all the planets of the solar system. He says if at least one of them reaches the end, then he will even help them with the colonization of Mars, and whoever cannot reach the end will forever remain a figure for the next astronauts.
Objective: The player or players must go through all the alien challenges, team up or go it alone, it's up to the players
Rules: Each player will be given three lives. On the field, there will be numbered cells on which you can move, and two zones - a shuttle and Mars. The game begins with a shuttle, players must create their hybrid from the parts provided and therefore the abilities of the animals that can adapt to the conditions at a given location. Not the entire field consists of safe cells, there will be cells with tests on it, for example, there will be one, standing on which the player draws a card on which the phenomenon is depicted, and if the character made by the player has immunity to this phenomenon, then the player moves forward one cell, but if it does not cope with the phenomenon, then it loses one part and the ability of the animal. There will also be cells with questions on astronomical topics, answering which the player will receive bonuses for which he can buy improvements for his character, the cost of improvements will not affect their effectiveness and usefulness. Players will move on to the next location, provided that more than one animal reaches the finish line. By the way, in the transition to the next place, it will be possible to change one part of your creature, if the player considers that it is a weak link, you can also purchase improvements for the bonuses mentioned above at this transition, but, as in the case of changing a body part, this is also done optionally.
Space Agency Data
To understand what dangers there are on Mars, we used the site:https://www.nasa.gov/hrp/5-hazards-of-human-spaceflight
To understand how these dangers affect humans, we took data from:https://science.nasa.gov/biological-physical/programs/space-biology
Hackathon Journey
While studying the site with the whole team, we liked the first challenge "BUILD A SPACE BIOLOGY SUPERHERO". We chose this challenge because we love to play games, and decided why not create our own game, and now we have a chance to realize our idea. From the very beginning, we planned to do something like the Dragons and Dungeons board game. But over time, our board game has become peculiar. There were difficulties. It was difficult to find information about animals that could withstand the conditions on Mars. But if we had not gained strength, we would not have been able to make our game. We got together almost every day and thought about how to make our project better. And in the end, after a night without sleep, we succeeded.
We thank Nilyufar Muradova and all the organizers of "NASA Space apps Dushanbe".
