The Crew is a collaborative card game that is based upon taking tricks to win. There is a storyline with fifty missions and a logbook. In addition to general limited communication amongst the players regarding cards and plays, each mission has additional restrictions and/or challenges upon what it takes to complete the mission. It's a well-written game with some interesting game mechanics. We played for a few hours, completing fourteen of the fifty missions. We will definitely continue our journey to discover the ninth planet of our solar system!
The Game is a collaborative card game that also has some limitations upon what players are allowed to communicate with one another. There are four piles that are played upon, two ascending from 1 to 100 and two descending from 100 to 1. Players must play their cards upon the piles in numerical order. The interesting component of game play is that cards can go "backwards" if they are exactly ten above or below the number of the card upon which they are played (depending upon which pile is played upon) which helps to "reset" the pile and allow for more cards to be played. The goal is to "beat the game" by playing all of the cards of the deck. On one of our games we came within three cards of winning.
