  1. 7 out of 10

    It's a stress headache in a box, and I truly have a hard time believing any team can coordinate so well as to win at this. That said, it's pretty fun.

  2. 8 out of 10

    Crashed and burned horribly on first try with friends, but this was more my fault since I didn't teach it properly and it was very wrong for the occasion. I love the design and for that reason it's a winner. Gift from my Dice Tower Secret Santa 2010. THANK YOU! Update: Induced a panic attack with another crowd, we all laughed - with people prepared to put the graft in and accept inevitable errors it is an absolutely definite winner.

    need to play more especially that i got galaxy trucker. a bit stressful but a lot of fun with a group that is willing to learn the game. but can be a drag if there is someone that does not get it or is not into the game.

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.
