A fun fast paced game that messes with your mind!
Recently we brought Mission Control to the table with a group of board gamers. As puzzle seekers and math nerds we were excited to give this a shot and figured that it would be a peace of cake.What ensued was an incredibly chaotic experience in the best way possible. The game naturally grows more hectic as you race against the clock. The Mercury player starts off often waiting for the other players and easily dealing with their turn. This begins to quickly turn as they are buried under things to juggle while desperately trying to win the game.Each city card has a unique game style and experience. Each position you can play feels quite different meaning that you have at least 4 unique experiences from the box simply by changing what you play as.I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes cooperative puzzle style games!

Had a blast playing with my family
I played this game with my partner and his kids ages 10 and 16. As my partner explained the rules I was a little worried that it would be too complicated for the 10 year old. However, once we started it was really easy to pick up the rules. We lost the first two times we played but everyone still had a blast! Since it only takes 20 minutes, it is easy to get multiple plays in. Everyone wanted to switch roles so they could try out one of the other cities. This game is really versatile, it is a fun family game and I could also see it as a great building exercise. I have seen my partner play it with his friends who are more serious board gamers and they had just as much fun as when we played it!

Great theme and cooperative gameplay
I love the theme of this game. Ground crews working to save the stranded Aethernaut.I've played it over a dozen times with groups of friends and each time has been a blast. The role of Aethernaut seems daunting in the beginning, but after a playthrough or two its really easy to get used to. Each ground control role has it's own puzzle to solve that is challenging, but light enough to enjoy calling out to your friends when you've unlocked a bonus for their role or when you're 'locked in'.
