The Crew: Mission Deep Sea
Thomas Sing · KOSMOS · 2021
A cooperative trick-taking game where your team completes missions by winning specific cards — but you can only give one communication clue per round. 32 escalating missions form a campaign that teaches trick-taking through cooperative play. Incredibly compact for the depth it offers.

How it plays
The Crew: Mission Deep Sea is a cooperative trick-taking game. Like the original Crew, players must complete tasks through tricks without freely talking about their hands.
In Deep Sea, tasks are more varied, like winning more tricks than another player or not winning any pink cards. The campaign has nearly 100 missions. It's a fresh challenge for fans of the first game.
May not be for you if…
- Requires basic trick-taking understanding
- Some missions are extremely difficult
- Limited table talk can frustrate casual players
- Less engaging at exactly 2 players
