Space Alert

Space Alert is a team survival game. Players take on the role of a crew of space explorers sent out through hyperspace to survey a dangerous sector of the Galaxy. The pace of the game is set by 10-minute soundtracks on included CDs (or by scenario cards, if you don't have a CD player). During these 10 minutes, the crew must defend the ship while it scans the enemy sector. If they succeed, the ship brings back valuable data. If they fail... it is time to train a new crew.Players do not compete against each other. Instead, they work together against the challenge presented by the game. The difficulty of this challenge can be chosen by the players themselves. Completing the most difficult missions requires close teamwork.Components:1 Spaceship Board10 Action Boards in 5 colors7 Trajectory Boards1 Mission Steps Board10 plastic fi gures55+ blocks in 6 colors1 blue and 3 green cylinders90 Action Cards6 Heroic Action Cards55 Threat Cards18 damage tiles26 internal threat tokens16 numbered tokens1 CD with 16 soundtracks1 ship's log1 Rulebook1 "How to Become a Space Explorer"handbook1-5 playersAges 12+30 minuets play time
