  This game is so fun. Great buy at this price. Perfect for people who's played a lot of trick taking games. Hearts, 500, Bridge tec.

    Would you recommend for 2 players?

    • 

      seanfoite on 21/06/2022 - 09:13

      It's a minimum of 3 players. Lost Cities is a fun 2 player card game. Codenames Duet would be another solid option.

        Pretty sure the box mentions two player variant

          @docians: I played the game a bunch and didn't realise that you could do 2 player. Just reading the rules now and you use a AI 3rd hand which is interesting. Weird that they put 3-5 players on the box though.

        i played lost cities… not for me. i found that its a relatively mindless game unless i am missing something.

        for 2 players, our gotos are Everdell (has up to 4 players) and 7 wonders: Dual

      Yes! They have a two player version using AI character called Jarvis. I have played it as 2 player and it's an excellent option

      I've played maybe 4 hours total of 2 players (which is a whole lot of rounds). It is a little more tiring though (since captain has to think for 2 hands)

      Defs worth it imo. Easily hours of fun until you get exhausted, which is a great thing for a board game.

      Simple to learn, hours of fun.

      It is more of a thinking game though, constantly thinking and pondering in silence even though it's not required to be quiet.

      I recommend Deep Sea though, it's a more polished game.

    This would be the one to get for an extra 46c

    Agreed, just bought this after owning original for a year and its miles better.

    • 

      Morbo66 on 21/06/2022 - 09:59

      Havent played either game, can you elaborate on what makes it better please?

      •

        Missions in original are just "X person has to win trick with Y card"
        Missions in deep sea are vastly more varied, eg "I will win no tricks with a Pink card" or "I will only win tricks with X,Y or Z conditions"

        If they are the same price, then buy deep sea, no question.

          @Nalar: can deep sea variant also be played with 2 players?

          • 

            Nalar on 22/06/2022 - 18:55

            @Grale: Yup it's functionally exactly the same, there's a 3rd "robot player" that is controlled by the capitan. It presents its own challenges and is as fun as normal play.

    azorax on 23/06/2022 - 00:12

    I second this.

    It's more polished and fun, which is what you want, for basically the same price.

  Thanks!

  Great game

  OG Crew space version seems to be out of stock at amazon for $18?

  Snagged the deep sea version instead.

  Get the Deep Sea variant, it's a polished update. Only improves on the game for not much more.
