Space Alert

Picture this: together you crew a small spaceship that flies into the most dangerous corners of the universe. The clock is ticking, because your mission lasts exactly ten minutes. A jump through hyperspace, a scan of the sector and then quickly back to safe territory. In Space Alert you have just one task, and that is protecting the ship against everything coming your way. During the game an audio recording plays that works as a clock and tells you exactly what is happening. The computer warns you about enemy spaceships, monsters, asteroids and even intruders on board. Now you have to agree at lightning speed on who does what. One player fires the weapons, another distributes the energy, someone else sends the robots after the intruders. Everything happens live, with the tension of the ticking clock breathing down your neck. Only a team that truly works together makes the jump back home. Thanks to the different difficulty levels and the huge amount of variety, no two missions play the same. You can play it on your own or with a team of up to five people. One mission takes about half an hour, including setup and talking it over afterwards. This is playing together at its most exciting.
