Spaceteam
Spaceteam review
Spaceteam is a truly unique experience! I bought it after reading countless positive reviews and watching a few gameplay videos, and I'm happy to report that it lives up to the hype.
The core concept is simple: you're all part of a spaceship crew trying to fix various system malfunctions before time runs out. The catch? Everyone is working on their own section, and you have to communicate with each other to find the right tools and fix the problems. This leads to a lot of shouting, frantic scrambling, and laughter as you try to decipher each other's frantic instructions.
I've played with groups of 4-6 people, and it's definitely more fun with more players. The chaos just intensifies, and it's harder to keep track of everything. The game is quick, with each round lasting about 5 minutes, making it perfect for a quick game night or a break between longer games.
One thing to note, the cards are made of a very slick plastic, which can make them difficult to handle and prone to sliding around the table. I've found that using card sleeves helps mitigate this problem. Overall, I highly recommend Spaceteam. It's a truly hilarious and engaging game that is perfect for a group of friends who don't mind a little bit of chaos and shouting.
