Space Craft (2022)

About this game

At the scrap yard on the outskirts of the city, four eccentric scientists rummage through piles of useless trash. They are competing to see who is the best rocket designer. The task is not easy, and the materials are limited. Which eccentric researcher will be the first to fly into space in his innovative rocket? Space Craft is a family game in which 2 to 4 players build crazy rockets. The game is for players aged 10+ and will take around 15min per player. During their turn, players will move their pawns on the scrapyard board to collect scrap tiles. Later, they will use those tiles to craft rocket pieces. By collecting specific rocket elements, players will fulfill contracts and those will grant them additional points by the end of the game. The game ends after one player completes the rocket. The winner is the player with the most points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.1/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
