Coming up with a rating for Noobs in Space was hard for me. It is a good game, but the game is a one and done adventure. The instructions were easy to follow, but a lot to take in at first. I find this to be on par with most card based playing games, so this did not bother me, but is worth mentioning. The gamebox and cards are made of good materials, not flimsy. Eye-catching artwork and easy to understand tasks. The adventure is fun and does inspire teamwork and communication while you work through levels. This game may be nice in a group setting like a classroom or a job site, but for a family home the ending line in the description holds true. The perfect card game for A fun and exciting game night. "A" singular game night. No replays with $15 price point is a 3 game for me, no matter how fun it may have been.

In Noobs in Space, a team of new astronauts take on a series of missions to manage their derelict spacecraft. My young family has enjoyed playing this cooperative card-only game. Literacy is a must, however, and some of my younger children struggle slightly. Noobs in Space is cooperative in the fullest sense of the word. Each player's hand of cards is private, and tasks often require cards from multiple hands. As such, each player must pay close attention and contribute when needed, or the mission fails. It makes "quarterbacking" difficult, a common problem in other cooperative games where one player makes decisions on behalf of others. The theme is lighthearted and fun. Each mission is about 15 minutes, allowing multiple missions if time permits. Each mission comprises various tasks. A typical task entails a player reading the instructions aloud and asking other players for the applicable cards so the accompanying picture can be built. Part of the game's charm is that it would be much easier to show the players this picture, but the player instead has to communicate it with words. It tests the player's ability to use critical thinking and communicate. At the end of the mission, the team checks their solution against the key and their time against a rubricfive stars if correct and done quickly. Three missions in, we are having fun and plan to finish.
