Astronauts wanted! Join the search for the fabled ninth planet! This fast, fun trick-taking card game has 50 different missions. Try them in order, or jump around (but be warned - the missions get harder as you go along). Although this game is set up for many players, you can play with two. In a twist on classic trick-taking games (like Hearts or Spades), this one is cooperative. It is at once relatively simple to grasp and quite complex to think through.
Why we chose this game for Board's Edge:- Cooperative - play with your friends not against them
- Easy setup - no need to set aside an hour of rule reading ahead of time
- Fast play - great for a game night nightcap or warm-up
- Classic with a twist - similar to card games you know and love, like Hearts or Spades, but with a cooperative new twist
- Oscar winner - winner of the German Board Game Oscars, Connoisseur category (Kennerspiel des Jahres)
