There used to be a Simulations Publications Incorporated board game that was set up like this, Voyage of the B.S.M. Pandora.
Anyway.....the official description is a "roguelike space ship flying game".

Anyway.....the official description is a "roguelike space ship flying game".
a quick poll of other players revealed that they beat the game after anywhere from eight to 42(!) hours’ worth of play. But everyone I’ve talked to about FTL, regardless of whether they’ve “beaten” it, has wanted to walk me through their most nail-biting, heartbreaking, or holy-crap-that-was-lucky runs.
