Description
Starship Babel is a unique and thrilling game that challenges 3 to 5 players to work together to escape a spaceship, despite not speaking the same language. With incredibly simple rules that can be explained quickly, this 15-minute game is perfect for a fun and fast-paced experience. Players must use a single word from an alien language dictionary to describe their actions and intentions, making for a hilarious and exciting negotiation process. As players discuss their plan and simultaneously lift 1-5 fingers, they must work together to match the number of the sector card and advance the ship to safety. With its cooperative gameplay and communication limits, Starship Babel is a game that requires teamwork, strategy, and a bit of luck. Published in 2017, this science fiction card game is a great addition to any game night, and its print and play format makes it easy to get started right away.
