In *Snakes in Space*, players collaborate to help Mole Rats escape a space station overrun by snakes. The objective is to gather equipment, avoid the snakes, and reach the escape pod before time runs out. This cooperative game from Peaceable Kingdom encourages teamwork, communication, and strategic decision-making as players coordinate moves and counter snake actions.
Each turn, players draw cards that dictate two actions—one for the Mole Rats and one for the snakes. The group must collectively decide how to move the Mole Rats while managing the snakes' movements. Success requires all Mole Rats to reach the escape pod without being bitten.
The game includes a game board, 51 cards, 20 tokens, 4 plastic Mole Rat movers, and instructions for both the base game and a challenge variant. Designed for 2-4 players, it is suitable for ages 7 and up. Peaceable Kingdom’s cooperative games emphasize teamwork, problem-solving, and social skills, making them suitable for both families and classrooms.
Things to Keep in MindHowever, a significant number of players find the game highly challenging, with many families reporting very few wins even after multiple plays, which can result in frustration and a decrease in replay interest over time. Why You'll Like ItThe game is widely praised for its cooperative nature, effectively encouraging teamwork and problem-solving among children across various age groups, leading to engaging and fun play sessions that often motivate repeated attempts.
