    Wow. I have a crew of very specific friends I invite to play this game. It is not for everyone, but with the right crew, the game is magic.

    可能是最近玩了太多机制杂糅的缝合怪，这个游戏让我眼前一亮，超长的12动编程+合作，时间有限又在很大程度上避免了主导者，真是爽 打不赢的时候也搞笑，小黑一直在看风景放空炮，肯定是敌方派来的奸细，笑得我们肚子疼哈哈哈

    11/10/17 - Lowering to 8. We've kept on playing this one and while it's a great game, oh boy is it a crazy learning curve. Between plays we constantly forget rules and have to go over them. At seven plays, we're still learning rules. That's pretty crazy, given this is the same group that plays the very heaviest board games (Gallerist, Mage Knight, etc.). So yes, I still think this is a great game, but only if you have a stable group that can take the time to really learn it. Enjoyable, tense game. It feels a lot like galaxy trucker (unsurprising given the same designer and them being made a year apart), although it is a significantly harder game and the rules do take a while to learn. The game is all about working as a team and coordinating actions. Once you get further into the game and get better as a team, planning for the random luck-element breakdowns becomes a bigger part of the game, A lot of things can throw plans off, so your team has to build in ways to work around those issues. Communication is a really big part of this game (telling people what cards you need, what you need during a data transfer, making sure you aren't duplicating errors, problem-solving). Great game and I would absolutely play it again & again, especially if I don't have to introduce new players to it. I know of other real-time games but there are none that feel exactly like this one, so like its Galaxy Trucker brother, it's definitely a refreshing pleasure to play.

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

During play, the central computer will announce the presence of various threats on one the supplied 10 minute soundtracks that also acts as a game timer. The threats 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 one to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation.
