The Crew: Flight to the ISS

About this expansion

The Crew: Flight to the ISS is a 2020 expansion for 2–5 players, with a playing time of 20 minutes. It adds three new missions while leaving the base game unchanged.

Each mission introduces a distinct way to use playing cards, tricks, and task cards. The scenarios are presented as a concise set of challenges for crews looking to continue their missions with new objectives.

• First mission: After the playing cards are distributed, players take turns starting with the commander. Each player announces how many tricks the crew member on their left will take. The mission is completed when all tricks have been played and every announcement is correct.
• Second mission: Draw four tasks. All four tasks must be fulfilled across four consecutive tricks.
• Third mission: Place the blue 1, 2, 3, and 4 task cards in the middle of the table instead of drawing four random cards from the task deck.

This structure gives Flight to the ISS a focused selection of mission rules without changing the underlying base game. Players can move from prediction and trick-counting to consecutive task completion, then take on a mission with a predetermined group of blue task cards.

The expansion was published in German and English versions of Spielbox 2/2020. It was also available as part of the rewards for backing the Game Boy Geek 2021 Kickstarter campaign. For players seeking additional scenarios for The Crew, this set provides three clearly defined missions in one small expansion.
