About the game

What you do in a play session

Spaceteam: NSFS Expansion brings even more chaos and fun to the already frantic team game that makes everyone shout 'Hello, folks!' in real time. With 48 additional cards, the expansion gives the game a serious boost, introducing new pieces like 'Ethanol Probe', which forces players to improvise fuel level adjustments, and the 'Greased Apparatus', which requires coordination to keep the ship from slipping through the controls. The core premise stays the same: five minutes of pure madness, where each player receives a hand of cards and must shout synchronized commands to keep the ship running. Hand management is reinforced, as there are now more action options and consequently more rapid decisions. Memory comes into play when players need to remember which commands have already been issued or which cards have been played, while trading cards among team members creates unexpected collaborative opportunities. For those who already know the base, the expansion offers an extra layer of complexity and fun, preserving the lightness and speed that define Spaceteam. Ideal for groups of six to nine people who aren’t afraid of getting lost in a swirl of confusing commands and laughter. The experience remains short, with each session lasting about five minutes, but the adrenaline is guaranteed. If you enjoy games that demand instant communication and can handle a bit of adult content, the NSFS Expansion is an upgrade worth trying out.
