The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine is an award-winning board game that combines classic trick-taking mechanics with an innovative cooperative approach and limited communication.
The game is set in outer space, where players take on the roles of astronauts on a mission to locate the mysterious ninth planet. The journey is far from easy—there are 50 missions ahead, each increasing in difficulty and creating a campaign-like experience. Every mission has its own story and special conditions, giving the game a light narrative feel of a space adventure.
All players work together as a team, aiming to successfully complete each member’s assigned tasks. Players take turns leading a suit, and the highest card of that suit wins the trick; rocket cards act as the strongest trump suit. Each mission determines which specific cards certain players must win in tricks. Players are not allowed to reveal their hands, but once per mission they may show one card and indicate whether it is the highest, lowest, or only card of that suit. This creates a need for strategy, deduction, and strong team coordination.
The game includes 50 missions with increasing difficulty and special conditions (such as tasks that must be completed in a specific order, communication restrictions, or situations where a player must not win any tricks).
