The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine – Astronauts Wanted! 🚀🪐

Scientists say a mysterious ninth planet lies at the edge of our solar system – go and find out. The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine by Thomas Sing, illustrated by Marco Armbruster and published by Kosmos, is a cooperative trick-taking card game for 3 to 5 players (with a two-player variant) aged 10 and up, about 20 minutes per mission. It won the Kennerspiel des Jahres 2020.

Your journey spans 50 different missions, each with its own win condition, played one after another as a story – and they get harder as you go. It is not the number of tricks that counts, but the right tricks for the right player at the right time. The mission only succeeds if every single crew member completes their tasks. And like real astronauts, you can only communicate in very restricted ways. You can pause after any mission and continue later.

🤝 Cooperative

Win or lose together.

🃏 Trick-Taking

The right tricks, not the most.

🛰️ 50 Missions

Harder with each one.

📻 Few Words

Communicate like astronauts.
