A Sargasso Sea of Space
At a Glance
A Party Card Game
Each player draws a handful of WHAT I NEED cards which are blue prints for the items they need to build their escape ship. These cards are kept secret! Then, in turn, each player draws a WHAT I FOUND card and describes it using just language–no gestures allowed!
And that, friends, is the delight challenge part of the game.
Through the highly scientific application of semiotics we drew a set of one-hundred different pieces of space junk that are, I am pleased to tell you, gosh-darned hard to verbally describe.
Not only does the junk have that "I have no clear word for it" aura of nonsense, a lot of the junk also sounds the same when described by words! They are difficult to differentiate! What a good trick. Like, look at those top left cards in the above image or the bottom middle cards–if you were to use words to describe 'em you'd mix them up easy.
And that makes things fun.
After two players have enough matches to build their space ships the game shifts gears. Players decide which spaceship they trust the most and get inside. Cards are flipped during a dramatic countdown and, maybe, you escape THE SARGASSO SEA OF SPACE.
