Each card tells you what to move on your turn.
If there’s a slash between arrows it means to choose one or the other. The arrows on both the top and bottom sections of the card indicate how many spaces to move in either direction (range from 1 to 3 spaces). Once a player has completed both actions on their card, they discard it and draw another card face up. Since all players can see each other’s cards (and are working together) they may all discuss the possible options to take. On a player’s turn they complete the actions on their card in order from top to bottom - Moles first, then Snakes. Then they shuffle the deck of cards, deal one card face up to each player, and they’re ready to play. Players also place the 4 pieces of equipment and 1 snake of each color on the marked spaced on the board. To begin, players choose a mole rat and place it and its medical kit on their colored space. Mole Rats in Space is simple and straightforward game to learn and play. Try to get all the mole rats and 4 pieces of equipment to the escape pod. However, if a mole rat is bitten by a snake twice, if a mole rat falls through an air vent into outer space, if a snake gets into the escape pod, or if players run out of cards, they all lose. To win, players need to get the 4 pieces of equipment and all mole rats to the escape pod in the center of the board. Players must work together and coordinate actions to successfully win the game.Īnd just as in those other cooperative games, there’s only one way to win but multiple ways to lose. If you’ve played Pandemic, Forbidden Island, or Forbidden Desert you’ll have a sense of what you’re in for. And it’s our job to make sure they get to the escape pod with precious equipment before the snakes overrun the space station.Īre you and your kids up to the challenge? We don’t know what mole rats are doing in this space station to begin with, but apparently they’re out there. Mole Rats in Space is the latest cooperative family board game by famed game designer Matt Leacock.īut instead of curing the world of disease, rescuing artifacts from a sinking island, or constructing a ship among storming desert winds, this time we’re getting our mole rats safely to a space escape pod. Can you help the mole rats make it to the space escape pod in time?
