Description
Let me take you on a journey to the year 2075. Just as soon as they took control of the world, cats set their sights on a new frontier - space! The creme de la creme of feline specialists now compete for cosmic dominance, with their determination unmatched even by the lack of opposable thumbs. It's a fierce race, filled with catnip-fueled shenanigans and rockets that go boom! Who will emerge victorious in this epic race, claim their paws on the infinite treasures of the Milky Way, and become the true cosmic conquerors?_x000D_

MLEM: Space Agency is a family board game where you step into the shoes of fearless captains of cosmic expeditions. But hold on, these aren't your ordinary explorers - they're cats! These intrepid felines have long conquered the Earth with their unmatched bravery, and now they've set their sights on conquering the entire cosmos. However, their clumsiness might lead to some purrfectly chaotic cat-astrophes. Take the helm of a cosmic rocket, reach for the stars, or trust your cat instincts and bail out before things go up in flames. Fame and admiration from the entire meowing world await the most exceptional leader of the feline space agency. Get ready for an adventure that's out of this world!
MEOW?
In this charming game from the legend that is Reiner Knizia, in MLEM: Space Agency, you aim to send your team of 🐈 cat astronauts (catstronauts?) on missions into deep space 🚀 ✨ racing to be the first to colonise moons 🌚 and planets. Each time you roll the dice you’re left with fewer rolls to reach your goal – can you make it all the way to deep space? Cats are as we know are in TROUBLE and cats in deep space are in deep trouble – and they keep pushing their luck till their ship crashes! When you get in trouble it’s time to bail out!
MIAOU
The player who last tended to a cat’s needs (read: dealt with the kitty litter) takes the role of lead astronaut, choosing one of their team of 8 to lead the mission. Each of your cats has a different ability: scoring double at a planet, for example, or being able to bail out before crashing (#spoileralert the rocket often crashes, it’s the lack of opposable thumbs). Cats that crash still get to go back to base for another mission, but the aim is to use all 8 of your cats to colonise, explore and score.
MAO
This is a lot of fun, albeit 8+ seems a little off – there’s quite a lot to process, especially in the rulebook, and 9/10+ seems a bit more accurate. That being said, my wee girl loved it and took over playing from me once she had the hang of it, and demanded a copy for her 8th birthday 🎂 😻 The game’s component quality is superb, with a huge stitched neoprene mat, beautiful wooden rocket and UFO meeples, heavy Cardstock boards and tokens that cute but not cutesy plus all different sizes by value – so big 👍 for accessibility.
MA-AOU
Whilst it’s great at all ages and player counts, it’s worth mentioning that UFO and Exploration tokens add layers of complexity. It’s very clever that the game’s variant modes build upon one another: it means the game grows with your kids and can be played as a satisfying light-mid weight grown-up game also.
All in all, a big hit! Blast off!
