The Crew Card Sleeves: How to Play the Game

In this cooperative card game, you aim to complete 50 different missions. The only way to be successful is to work together with other players as a team. The cards include tasks for a mission, where players intend to win a suit-driven hand called a "trick." Each player takes turns playing their cards, remembering that everyone works together to complete the tasks for the current mission. When all of the tasks are complete, the mission ends.

The Crew: Mission Deep Sea: How the Games Differ

The primary difference in Mission Deep Sea is its dynamic tasks. The original game's tasks were simply one player needing to win a trick with the correct card. In Mission Deep Sea, the tasks are far more varied. For example, the game includes challenges that do not require cards of a particular color or number.
