Crew: Mission Deep Sea Game
Standalone sequel with 50 more missions and 96 unique task cards.
In this highly-anticipated followup to the original cooperative card game — winner of the 2020 Kennerspiel des Jahres — players work together to search for the lost continent of Mu. This new adventure takes your crew deep down into the abyss on a search for the fabled sunken land. How far you get depends entirely on how well you work together as a team. Card by card, trick by trick, your search party will discover the challenges that lie ahead and forge a path to Mu. This new version of The Crew has the same innovative cooperative trick-taking mechanic as the highly lauded original game — but with some exciting new surprises!
While communication between your crew members is severely limited by your submerged state, it is also critical to your success; finding the hidden land in the murky depths depends not only on winning tricks, but also on carefully negotiating the order in which they are won. If things don't go as planned, you might just be able to salvage the operation. But it will take near flawless execution and perhaps a little luck to finally reach Mu.
Our family has long enjoyed playing co-operative games from Family Pastimes. We play competitive ones, too, but enjoy fostering team spirit as we all work toward achieving a goal. If you haven't tried this alternative to playing together, here's an assortment of some of our favorites from this company.
In space, no one can hear you scream… that you really, really need to take this next trick! The Crew Games are cooperative trick-taking card games that test the limits of your communication and strategy. Like other trick-taking games, each player has a hand of number cards in different suits with a special "trump" suit. Each game, players select one of 50 different missions to play. Missions set the difficulty and goals of each round by determining how many tasks need to be completed to win the game. Tasks are represented by a number and suit. This indicates that a player must take the trick containing that card, or fail the mission! In a typical game, each player has 1-2 tasks known to all players, and everyone does their best to play their cards at the right time and help the right player take the right tricks. Unfortunately, communication is limited – players have only one chance each game to share information about their hand. The rest is up to luck, intuition, and teamwork! With 50 missions of increasing difficulty providing oodles of replayability, these games are a fantastic pick for families, casual game groups, and lovers of classic card games. For 2-5 players, but best with 4. Playtime is 20 minutes per round.
