We like this game a lot. Had it for some time now, had it since it first come out, played it many times and put it back on the shelf. Now 2 years later, finally played it again, still awesome. My son and I like co-op, dice chucking, minis abundant games and this fits perfectly. Still a great game, that is why the high rating....

- 40 cards (63.0mmx88.0mm)
Jupiter Rescue is a co-operative strategy game in which players work together to escort 28 colonists to an escape pod before they're converted into alien creeps. Each turn, players may take five actions, choosing from common options – moving themselves, moving nearby colonists, or killing alien creeps – and a series of programming cards that grant them special abilities. These cards can be played on the player's turn to activate the ability. Each player also gets to choose one card to be his "core" ability, letting him use it every turn instead of discarding it.
New creeps are added to the board, which is composed of tiles, at the end of each player's turn by rolling a die; if a tile fills up with creeps, it's destroyed and removed from the game. Players lose if enough colonists get turned into creeps, or if certain key board tiles are all destroyed. Double-sided tiles allow for hundreds of station variations.

We like this game, though we've sofar still not beaten it. An easy game to learn with hard decissions to make. Nice components.
This was the co-op game that introduced me to the idea of co-ops screwing up the players' best-laid plans. What starts off as a carefully calculated foray usually devolves into a chaotic scramble to only barely keep things from spiraling out of control on a turn-by-turn basis.
Really fun game, but also difficult. Modular board and basically you play these security robots that have to evacuate the crew of a space station before these alien Creeps either assimilate them or infest the modules. The robots each get really useful powers, we just have to master exactly how to use them while prioritizing the rescue.
I love multi-player co-operative games and this is good one. I has good visual appeal as well.
