Apollo XIII (2015)

About this game

Apollo XIII tells the whole story of that mission through a card-driven game system. Follow the story and face all of the disasters that plagued that mission! To ensure the survival of the crew and get them back to Earth, you need to work together in this cooperative game to manage each setback that the mission faces. Your team must coordinate their actions, or you will not finish the mission! Of course, if you want an even bigger challenge, you can try the optional "competitive mode" to see who is the best mission coordinator!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.7/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
