Mlem: Agenzia Spaziale

Such an easy game to learn, but also has enough strategy to make you want to keep playing again and again. I think this game gets better with more players too.

One of the more fun push-your-luck games I own! Super easy to teach; it took us less than 15 min for 4 of us to understand how to play. After that you guys take turn rolling dice, pushing your cats to the edges of space! So funny to cheer for each other only to bail out on planets and moons before someone crashes! Would definitely recommend for all player types and ages! NOTE: This is a PUSH YOUR LUCK style game, so strategists beware: lots of change ups game to game, round to round!

DISCLAIMER: I am theme agnostic, so rating of the game has nothing to do with its portrayal of cats, space, cats in space, or narratives. And no cats get harmed in this game. :-) We have played MLEM over a haff dozen time with 3-5 players, and most every gamer we've introduced to MLEM agrees with us that this is one of the best press-your-luck dice games. Both active and inactive players have meaningful decisions on every roll of the dice, and the game includes three variants for even more fun. This the kind of game that's great for families as well as experienced gamers.

The game is absolutely amazing. It seamlessly blends co-op and competitive elements in a way I wish others could do. And, with a party of 5 we did a first game (including punching out the cardboard) in 90min. I'm quite looking forward to my 4-5th play when I'll want to add some of the included variant rules.

Fun, easy-to-teach, cute theme and art. I wasn't interested in this game at first because I thought with its low complexity rating and dice that there would be a lot of luck involved. But the way the dice are shared by all players as fuel for their rocket mitigates the luck factor and makes choices interesting.
