Description
Embark on a whimsical journey to the year 2075, where an unexpected turn of events has led cats to seize control of the world and set their sights on a new and daring frontier – space! In this feline-dominated era, the crème de la crème of cat specialists find themselves engaged in a fierce cosmic competition for dominance. The lack of opposable thumbs proves to be no hindrance to their determination as they navigate through catnip-fueled shenanigans and rockets that go boom! The question looms: Who will emerge victorious in this epic race, lay claim to the infinite treasures of the Milky Way, and etch their names as the true cosmic conquerors?
Enter the thrilling world of MLEM: Space Agency, a family board game that catapults players into the roles of fearless captains of cosmic expeditions, each one embodying a daring cat with a penchant for adventure. These intrepid felines, having long conquered Earth with their unmatched bravery, now set their sights on conquering the entire cosmos. Brace yourself for purrfectly chaotic cat-astrophes as you take the helm of a cosmic rocket, reaching for the stars while navigating the fine line between success and chaos.
But fear not, for the whimsical nature of this board game promises an adventure that transcends the ordinary. Will you trust your cat instincts and bail out before things go up in flames, or will you boldly lead your feline crew to cosmic glory? The stage is set for an out-of-this-world experience filled with laughter, strategy, and the admiration of the entire meowing world. Get ready to unleash your inner cosmic conqueror and guide your furry companions through a celestial escapade unlike any other!

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!
