Captain Down
1–4 players · 30 min · 14+
An alien armada surrounds a peaceful explorer class spaceship in deep space. Can its crew render repairs while under phaser fire and complete their escape?
Captain Down is a 1 to 4 player cooperative game with solo play. Playing as a member of the crew, will you be able to work together and save your ship from destruction?
Your explorer class spaceship has four main system rooms connected by multiple corridors to traverse. The immediate mission is to charge the power, phasers, shields and atmosphere gauges to maximum. Aiding the crew are the ship's sensors, teleportation jumps, oxygen deployment, power transfers, medical facilities and their own unique training.
Phaser fire however is randomly damaging areas of the ship causing a temporary loss of vital systems. Do you attempt the mission steadily or take strategic risks to ensure your timely escape?
