Spaceteam is fantastic.
There is a card game version: each player has a stack of problem cards, and a hand of tool cards, and you need a certain combination of tools to fix each problem. You can pass tool cards to other players who need them.
Simple, right?
You can only pass cards to the players immediately to your left or right, so if you need a tool from someone on the other side of the table, you need to get them passed all the way round.
Each tool has a name and a picture. Some of the problem cards refer to the tool by name, some with a picture. So you're asking for "the tool that looks like a red egg whisk", a description which other players may or may not recognise.
There are cards in the problem deck which cause you problems. You might have to throw your hand down and wait for the other players to pick it up. You might not be able to use your thumbs. You might not be able to speak out loud or move until someone touches you.
And of course the game is played in realtime, against a timer, with all players playing simultaneously. There is a lot of shouting.
Plus, i swear that the cards are far more slippery than normal cards, so if you make the slightest error in handling them, they fly off the table.
