One of my few 10s. Holy crap this game is fun! Any game where friends say to each other, "You've killed us!" deserves a 10.

I will have to play it more times too see if it gets to a 10! but definitely an excellent coopgame
This game makes everything right. It is witty, surprinsingly difficult and hughly entertaining. And it is pure fun!
Outstanding design. Strongly reminiscent of "Puzzle Pirates" transmuted into a space-themed boardgame. Clever, thematically-appropriate minigames for stations makes everyone's performance relevant, neatly sidestepping "Alpha Player Syndrome". Strong interdependencies between stations makes for frenzied communication and necessitates teamwork. One of the best implementations of cooperative gameplay I've ever seen. And it's playable by grognards and 7-year-olds alike, at the same table. Oh, and it's terrific fun.
