Bossin' Space is a board game released in 2020 for 1–5 players, 40–90 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Petr Vojtěch and Jindřich Pavlásek and its main mechanics are Simultaneous Action Selection, Grid Movement, and Cooperative Game.
Bossin‘ Space is a cooperative game for one to four players. You will travel across the universe into the unknown and fight aliens along the way. You are explorers who found themselves under heavy fire. Your vessel is not military class, but isn‘t toothless. Upgrade your ship, outsmart the enemy and stay alive. Every round starts with all the players contributing one card at the same time. These cards are used to pilot and control your spaceship (the whole team commands one ship together). You always know what dangers awaits you from the enemies and bosses on the board, but you never know what cards others are playing. Get XP points from defeating enemies and upgrade your ship the way you want. Invest in better guns, equipment or protection. You will need it to survive in the chaos of the battle and to defeat all the enemies and bosses. Your goal may differ from game to game. One time you are fighting a big dangerous boss, then escaping through the asteroid field or protecting disabled friendly ships. —description from the publisher
Bossin' Space supports 1–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Bossin' Space is 40–90 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Bossin' Space for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Bossin' Space has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
