Got a chance today to play The Captain is Dead, a cool cooperative board game.

Premise: the captain of your starship is dead and you are under attack. Try to keep systems online, repair your warp drive and gtfo before you explode.

The core mechanics are kinda similar to Pandemic -- role specialization, card-swapping. However the board state is a lot more complex, you need to manage damage control, and threats are more immediate. Triage is super important.

Endorsed.
