Noobs in Space

Description

How does this spaceship work, anyway? A funny space adventure awaits two to five players, ages ten and up. Several levels with new challenges are in store for you. Players work together to solve task after task. Cooperative, easy-to-learn, and varied: the perfect card game for a fun and exciting game night!

You are a team of newbie astronauts sent on an actual mission in an actual spaceship in actual outer space! Exciting, right? It would be…if any of you actually knew what you were doing. Would have been nice to have at least one experienced pilot on board, but now that you’re here, you’ll just have to figure it out as you go along.

In Noobs in Space, a team of three to five players must complete a series of tasks and challenges together, using what little knowledge you have. Not all hope is lost because each of you has a small part of the solution; you just need to figure out how to put it all together. While one player may know the task at hand but not have the resources to implement it, those resources may be shared among three other players. They, on the other hand, do not know what is necessary based on the information they have. Since players cannot show cards to each other, there must be a lot of clear communication and interaction by describing or reading out cards in order to gradually find out what should be done — and all of this must be done as quickly as possible.

The story leads through several levels, and each level consists of several tasks, so the whole game is an action-packed event from beginning to end.

Noobs converts app games like “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes” into a tabletop game. The group must cooperatively solve task after task and work together as well as possible, because each player only knows a small part of the solution. While one player may only know the task at hand but not have the resources to implement it, those resources may be shared among three other players. Only they, on the other hand, do not even know what is actually necessary from all their information. Since the cards are not allowed to be shown to each other, there must be a lot of clear communication and interaction by describing or reading out cards in order to gradually find out what should be done. And all of this must be done as quickly as possible. The story leads through several levels and each level consists of several tasks, so the whole thing is an action-packed event game. No material is destroyed in the process. The game also does not come with any classic instructions, instead the few rules are explained directly in the game in an introductory level, so you can start right away.
