The game consists of a pack of 44 cards, picturing Dan Dare and his friends from the Eagle.

The game is a two part trick-taking card game. In the first half of the game the winner of each trick gets to take a visible top card from the remainder of the deck (the loser takes a hidden card) and in the second half the cards won in the first half are used.
