KOSMOS • 2021
An acclaimed cooperative trick-taking card game where players work together as a deep-sea exploration crew completing secret underwater missions. Communication is strictly limited: players cannot talk about their hand cards, relying instead on single radio tokens to signal card details. Over dozens of increasingly difficult logbook missions, precision teamwork is required. Mission Deep Sea expands on the Kennerspiel des Jahres winner *The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine* by introducing a dynamic mission deck where tasks scale individually to difficulty numbers. One player might need to win zero tricks, while another must win all pink cards or specific card numbers. Designed for 2 to 5 players with quick 20-minute mission lengths, it is a brilliant cooperative card game that requires tight coordination and subtle tactical signals.
