Did you ever dream of becoming an astronaut?
Well, if that didn’t work out for you then you can still shoot for the stars & join in one of the most top-rated games of 2020. Journey through space to search for an unknown planet and become part of The Crew: The Quest for Planet 9!
The Crew, designed by Thomas Sing and published by Kosmos Games, is not just a trick-taking card game, but a cooperative one at its very best!
Your log book contains 50 exciting missions, should you choose to accept them, with each one getting more difficult for your eager crew of 2-5 astronauts to solve.
Each mission, led by your space commander, requires careful team work & communication to succeed. But be careful, things are not that straight forward in Space!
At the start of each mission all cards are dealt to the players. Whoever is dealt the Black Rocket 4 card will be the Commander for that round and starts the first trick.
The Crew must then work together to ensure the specific Tasks for each mission are completed by the group. In order to successfully complete a mission, the players with Task cards must win tricks that include that designated card.
Sound simple? Well, the catch is that you cannot talk about the cards in your hand. You can, however, use your radio signal token once per mission to communicate to your Crew.
As soon as all Tasks are won in tricks correctly, the mission succeeds! If any of the Tasks are not correctly completed, the mission fails and the Crew will have to attempt the same mission again.
Ideally the Crew is designed to be played as a campaign but you can pick and choose your missions, if you wish, and revisit your favourite challenges again and again. You can even use your log book to track your progress and pick up where you left off.
Will your team soar the galaxy and triumph in cosmic bliss on Planet 9, or will you get stuck in a Black Hole, never to resurface!
