We began by playing Space Stations. Each six then completed a mission given to them by 'The European Space Agency'. They made a balloon rocket, undertook scientific experiments on the alien planet, made a hovercraft rover, discovered alien life forms and collected fuel pods so that they could return to earth. The Leprechauns won the game - well done!
