Crusoe's Planet (2001)

About this game

You're stranded on a planet. Your goal is to survive. The game is designed for the lighthearted exploration of market and command economies and the advantages and drawbacks of specialization, cooperation and competition. In this game there are many economic systems to try out.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 8.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
