Co-op trick-taking with signaling
The Crew: Mission Deep Sea is a light game (weight 3/10). Despite the modest rules footprint, the decision space is deep (7/10) — the kind of game that rewards a dozen plays. Decisions come at a steady pace (7/10) — engaged without being exhausting. Interaction is maxed (9/10) — every turn shapes what your opponents can do. Direct attacks are minimal (0/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression. And table-talk diplomacy is essential (negotiation 8/10) — winning requires persuasion.
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
