Thames And Kosmos The Crew The Quest For Planet Nine Card Game
Thames And Kosmos
A cooperative trick‑taking card game for 2–5 players (ages 10+) where you embark on a 50‑mission space journey to locate the mysterious Planet Nine. You must complete increasingly complex missions with strictly limited communication: you can only share one piece of information per mission using your communication token. With dynamic gameplay, a compact and high‑quality package, and a strong narrative logbook, this game blends strategy, teamwork, and puzzle‑solving in a tight, 15–20 minute playtime that keeps players coming back mission after mission
