What happens on the card

The Grumbles have stolen the birthday cake and a cupcake flies after them in its little ship over the moon. Drag the ship anywhere; it fires sprinkles by itself. Jellies, grumpy balloons and saucers carrying power-ups come in, then the WARNING and King Grumble with the cake in a bubble. Beat him, the bubble pops, and the ship lights the candles one by one.

Who it is for

Sci-fi fans, shoot-em-up players, the friend who still owns a joystick, and anyone who loves space.
