  1. 7 out of 10

    From one play: I (really) like the cell shaded style art and this third interation has a tower defence vibe to it.

  2. 7 out of 10

    As much fun as the other two Captain is Dead games can be, this one while maintaining that fresh take on a similar concept just hasn't captured the lightning in a bottle fun that the prior two games did for our group and even for myself. I appreciate that we can lay out the planet to our own desires, but with a slightly different focus and a greater orientation on combat, it feels more like a knock-off of the "Forbidden" series (Island/Desert/Sky) with a Captain is Dead theme.

  3. 7 out of 10

    Set up took a bit longer than I wanted to but once we were playing and the entire mechanics clicked the set up seemed very easy as everything is labeled where it goes. Very fun and can easily turn into an argument every turn depending on who you play with. Will play again.

The intrepid crew escaped the alien prison in Lockdown. Now, having been assigned a third captain, they are on their first away mission! Taking their shuttlecraft to the surface of an abandoned alien planet, they are tasked with discovering alien relics that may point to why the alien empire detests our Spacefleet so much, and how we may one day forge peace.

Of course, your new captain was very diplomatic, and upon encountering giant bugs that may very well be the reason the aliens abandoned the planet, he chose to attempt to communicate. The bugs communicated by biting his head clean off. So now, once again without a captain, the crew must attempt to complete the mission by exploring tunnels and obtaining relics, all while fighting off a swarm of bugs!

The Captain Is Dead: Dangerous Planet uses the mechanisms of The Captain is Dead in a whole new way. Through exploration and area defense, you’ll try to survive long enough to obtain the necessary relics — but should the bugs attack the shuttlecraft enough times, you won’t be able to escape! The Dangerous Planet tunnel system is modular, for easier and harder challenges.
