Crew

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.
