Microgame #16 in the Metagaming Microgames series is a two-player SF wargame of conflict on the Moon centering on an alien artifact called "the dingus." The official rules offer four 10-turn scenarios: three between American and Soviet "research teams" competing for control of the dingus, and one between the Americans and the alien race they've inadvertently summoned with the dingus.
