Description

[Edit] [History]

(From Czech Games Edition)

It is a team survival game: a type of cooperative game. Players become crew members of a small spaceship scanning dangerous sectors of galaxy. The missions last just 10 minutes (hyperspace jump, sector scan, hyperspace jump back) and the only task the players have is to protect their ship.

On 2 CDs (or Scenario cards if you don't have a CD player available) are ten minutes long soundtracks that represent central computer announcements about the presence of various threats. These vary from space battleships and interceptors to different interstellar monsters and abominations, asteroids or even intruders and malfunctions on the spaceship. Players have to agree who will take care of which task and coordinate their actions (moving around the ship, firing weapons, distributing energy, using battlebots to deal with intruders, launching guided missiles etc.) in real time to defend the ship. Only a well-working team can survive 10 minutes and make the jump back to safety.

The game offers several difficulty levels, huge variability and a unique experience for two to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation.

List of all the Threat Cards in Space Alert, with their characteristics.
0 Mission Sheet for Space Alert
SA_Mission_Sheet.rar
Mission Sheet (with explanations) that I made to replace the one that came with the game. The one provided is not actually all that useful when the spaceship crew changes more or less each other game (as for the games played at my gaming group).
0 Crew Sheet for Space Alert
SA_Crew_Sheet.rar
Crew Sheet (with explanations) that I made for taking notes about the players of our games. Up to now our Starfleet Academy has 11 cadets up and running (increasing every time the game hits the gaming group).

It is my first attempt to create a tuckbox. Unfortunately I don't own a printer, so I would be glad if you print, test, use them and give feedback. I hope the cards fit into the boxes... ;)
