The Crew: Mission Deep Sea Board Game by Thames & Kosmos

The goal of the game is to search for the lost continent of Mu, the fabled sunken land. Missions start simple but get more complex as the crew gets deeper into the search. How far you get depends entirely on how well you work together as a team.

The Crew: Mission Deep Sea - A Family Review

Need a game that gets your brain fired up? Ready for puzzle solvers and card game players alike, The Crew: Mission Deep Sea gives you a whole bunch of missions to challenge your table.

If you’ve played The Crew: The Quest for Planet Nine, Deep Sea does most of the same things, but changes the theme and provides some more diverse mission options.

If you haven’t played Planet Nine, these games are quick to set up and quick to play. Cooperative, but with a twist—no talking allowed. Also no miming, making faces, or using hand signals.

9yo: “It’s very similar to the space one, but maybe harder."

The kids thought that Deep Sea was more difficult, but we found that the variety of mission types made the game a lot more interesting, and more forgiving. Also, the theme was a huge hit with our eleven-year-old because she wants to be a marine biologist.

11yo: “I was excited to play in the ocean!”

Just like Planet Nine, we think this’ll be an absolute winner at a table of adults who can decode the mission requirements and execute a plan. Think of it as a party game that you can play in five to twenty minutes rather than a long-form hobby board game to play with the younger kids.

If you’re looking for something to turn heads at your next work party, or if you have older kids or kids who are brainteaser fiends, The Crew: Mission Deep Sea is worth an excursion.

Helpful Hints

  • Colour Vision Deficiency friendly: Each colour card suit also has its own symbol for ease of identification.
  • There’s a helper app that teaches the game and provides background music.

Description

original cooperative card game — winner of the 2020 Kennerspiel des Jahres — players work together to search for the lost continent of Mu. This new adventure takes your crew deep down into the abyss on a search for the fabled sunken land. How far you get depends entirely on how well you work together as a team. Card by card, trick by trick, your search party will discover the challenges that lie ahead and forge a path to Mu. This new version of The Crew has the same innovative cooperative trick-taking mechanic as the highly lauded original game — but with some exciting new surprises!

While communication between your crew members is severely limited by your submerged state, it is also critical to your success; finding the hidden land in the murky depths depends not only on winning tricks, but also on carefully negotiating the order in which they are won. If things don’t go as planned, you might just be able to salvage the operation. But it will take near flawless execution and perhaps a little luck to finally reach Mu.
