A cooperative trick-taking game. You are the crew of a spaceship bound for the ninth planet. There are fifty missions. In each, task cards are dealt: a named card must be won in a trick by a specific player, sometimes in a set order. You may not talk freely about your hand. Once per mission, a radio token lets you share one limited fact about one of your cards. Fail a single task and the whole crew loses. It turned the traditional trick-taking game into a cooperative one, and won the Kennerspiel des Jahres in 2020.
