The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine
(2-5 players; 20 minutes; ages 10+)
The Crew is the best cooperative gaming experience since Hanabi. It is a trick taking card game in which everyone must work together to ensure that certain players win tricks containing certain cards. Progress from challenge to challenge – increasingly complex – guaranteed to make you think in delightful mind-twisty ways.
I like mathematics because it is not human and has nothing particular to do with this planet or with the whole accidental universe – because, like Spinoza’s God, it won’t love us in return.
