Great little game. Box is even smaller than the box for crew deep sea mission. Its essentially a totally different game but with the same goal of playing certain cards as a group effort without talking. Instead of it being a trick taking game, the way cards are played are like uno. The missions are predetermined (not random like in crew). I'm only 20% of the way through the game (8/35 scenarios) and will say that these mechanics does make it easier for the kids to understand. I predict the more difficult scenarios will be coming up soon. The other pro I have for this game is that the theme/story is better throught out. The cards are not only colored and numbered. But each card has a person or item on it. So for the first mission, youre on a boat and it gets invaded by pirates. The goal of the first mission is to play a specific pirate and the boat. So unlike regular crew, I'm actually interested in reading the log book. The kids are also really entertained by the story in the logbook too. And as I read the story, sometimes they try to guess what the goal will be. Great game to start teaching the kids strategy and teamwork.

We were so excited to see a new "Crew" game. We picked it up to take to our family holiday trip, and it was a big hit. The game is cooperative, so you have to work together, and it just adds a nice difference to the usual competition-type games. What a great addition to our game collection!

I really liked the first 2 Crew games. But this one was a little underwhelming when I played it with my group that loves the Crew 1 and 2. Had some of the same elements but was a simplified version of the idea. Maybe good for younger players who would find the other games way too complicated to follow.

I was hoping this would be like the original crew game but it’s not at all. Didn’t take very long to get through all the levels because it’s very easy. I would classify this more as a kids version of the original crew game.

Love these games.

This is great for my 9 year old.

Great game! Totally different mechanics than the other two crew games. Did not feel "easier" but certainly was very enjoyable in the way the other crew games are. More of a "UNO" game mechanic than spades but still similar with regards to signaling and constraints.

Its a great game. The instructions make it sound far more complicated than it is. On e you get going its very simple. Out 7 year old loves playing with us. Having to be quiet during a mission is a very interesting concept. The missions are very short but theres 35 of them. It lets you have game night for as long as you want. The only flaw is the game board, the art work sticker on the board peels off and is already wearing down where it folds up.

Great family game and easy to learn.
