Space Alert is a team survival game.
Players take on the role of a crew of space explorers sent out through hyperspace to survey a dangerous sector of the Galaxy.
The spaceship automatically maps the sector in 10 minutes. The crew's task is to defend the ship until the mission is complete. If they succeed, the ship brings back valuable data. If they fail... it is time to train a new crew.
Space Alert is not a typical board game. Players do not complete against each other. Instead, they work together against the challenge presented by the game. The difficulty of this challenge can be chosen by the players themselves. Completing the most difficult missions requires close teamwork.
Note: This game contains two CDs. These are not just bonuses to provide atmosphere. They play a major role in the game as this is a real-time, cooperative game.
Players need to coordinate their actions to win this game; weapons control, distributing energy, dealing with intruders, launching missiles, etc.. Only a well coordinated team can make the space jump back to safety!
