What is Space Alert
Space Alert is a cooperative team survival game. Players become crew members of a small spaceship scanning dangerous sectors of the galaxy. The missions last just 10 real-time minutes (hyperspace jump, sector scan, hyperspace jump back) and the only task the players have is to protect their ship.
During play, the central computer will announce the presence of various threats on one of the supplied 10 minute soundtracks that also acts as a game timer. The threats vary from space battleships and interceptors to different interstellar monsters and abominations, asteroids or even intruders and malfunctions on the spaceship. Players have to agree who will take care of which task and coordinate their actions (moving around the ship, firing weapons, distributing energy, using battlebots to deal with intruders, launching guided missiles, etc.) in real time to defend the ship. Only a well-working team can survive 10 minutes and make the jump back to safety.
The game offers several difficulty levels, huge variability and a unique experience for one to five player teams. One mission lasts only about 30 minutes, including setup and evaluation.

Un colaborativo muy original y muy divertido. Tiene mucha tension y debido a lo novedoso de su planteamiento llama poderosisimamente la atencion tanto a jugones como no jugones.
Me ha defraudado. No le veo nada que me enganche.
Increíble cómo han logrado una verdadera sensación de agobio usando elementos multimedia para tener que resolver las amenazas en tiempo real ¡En las resoluciones de la partida nunca sabes lo que puede haber salido mal!

One of the funniest, chaotics and most challenging coops I've ever played.
no puedo negar que tiene una de las mecánicas mas novedosas que he visto en mi poco recorrido con boardgamer pero no me gustó para nada, que dolor de muelas, de pronto influenció la hora y el grupo de juego, hay que volverlo a jugar a ver si se mejora la impresión general aunque no creo
En mi opinión el mejor juego cooperativo que he jugado. Elimina el efecto líder al ser totalmente frenético. Dan ganas de jugar una y otra y otra y otra y otra...
