Cosmic Quest: The Maze of Space is a collaborative tabletop board game where
players take part in an interstellar rescue mission. Through the aid of red and blue
filter glasses, players move through and solve a dynamic, tile-based space maze
while uncovering hidden passages and strategic opportunities that exist in almost
every corner. The main objective of the game is to save explorers on stranded
planets and bring them back to Earth, but in the process, players must manage a
shared fuel supply and face unforeseen challenges.
As players place tiles to create the maze and then attempt to solve it, the game
brings an emphasis on teamwork and planning. Edging between reality and fiction,
the game becomes very engaging with the introduction of a variety of new
mechanics such as fuel consumption, planet-based refueling, and portals that force
players to switch glasses. The game is also designed in a space-themed, minimalist
style, achieving immersion.
Cosmic Quest provides players with the feeling of excitement and fosters creativity in
people due to its importance of teamwork. Since it is constantly presenting new
challenges, each experience is different and that is why it is one of the most
interesting and replayable adventures out there.
