The Captain is Dead

Imagine sailing along in your favourite science fiction series. Only in the final minutes everything goes wrong: the captain has fallen and you and the rest of the crew have to save the ship together. Without a leader, with a hostile alien ship right beside you. The clock is ticking, the tension rises, and everything depends on how well you work together. The Captain is Dead is a cooperative game for 2 to 7 players. You have one goal: get the ship's engines running again. If you manage that, you win. But it will not happen by itself, because those hostile aliens want to blow your ship to pieces. Every round brings new problems that you have to solve together. Each crew member has their own skills and their own role on board. The trick is to combine those talents well and to trust one another. Does someone want to play the hero all alone? Then you all go down. Talking, planning and choosing together: that is the only way home.
