Burke's Gambit is a robust freighter racing through space on a crucial mission to find advanced alien technology. Instead, the crew encounters a dangerous parasitic organism that has infiltrated the ship and one of its members. As alarms sound for contamination, one crew member sabotages the engines, putting everyone on a collision course with Earth and leading to a potential global infestation. Players assume roles like captain or communications officer and take turns rolling a die, which allows actions such as healing or identifying the infected crew member. Once the freighter reaches Earth, a vote must take place to determine who gets ejected into space.
