Description

In Redshirts, you'll take on the role of a Starship Captain with a team of junior crewmen, known as Redshirts, at your disposal. The goal is simple: be the first player to eliminate all of your Redshirts, which is easier said than done. With a hand of cards that allows you to assign missions, issue equipment, and travel to exotic locations, you'll need to make strategic decisions about how to proceed, especially when you're forced to hold more cards than you can handle. As you navigate the game, you'll encounter Redshirts with unique abilities and powers, and you'll need to find ways to match them up against missions where they're doomed to fail. But watch out, because other players will be "helping" by offering your Redshirts additional aid, trying to keep them alive and thwart your plans. With simple rules and a playtime of just 30 minutes, Redshirts is a hilarious and action-packed game for 2 to 7 players that's perfect for fans of science fiction and humor.
