About the game

What you do in a play session

Space Lab is a card game that puts you in charge of an international space station. Your goal is to recruit members from the world's four largest space agencies to form the perfect team and complete amazing projects in space. Each turn involves strategic choices: you can collect cards from the same agency from the top of the deck or the recruitment center. Managing your hand of cards is crucial, as you need to position them around the capsules intelligently to maximize their powers and objectives. Additionally, keep an eye on the game's pace to ensure you're racking up extra points before the end. With mechanics like hand management, multi-use cards, and end-game bonuses, Space Lab offers an engaging experience full of interesting decisions. It's an accessible game for beginners but with enough depth to satisfy seasoned players.
