How to Play: Space Alert

This is a quick and comprehensive video that teaches you how to play Space Alert. It helps if someone in the group already knows how to play (eg. you can use this as a replacement to teaching others how to play right before you play), but all the rules are covered in case you haven’t played.

Just bought this game 2 days ago. Not gonna lie, was confused as hell. Still a little bit confused, but I have a better understanding now. Thank you.

I'm expecting this game to come over the weekend. Whew! Looks like my group is in for a ride!

Hot damn! That was a very solid tutorial. I'm a bit envious of your explaining skills. this game hasn't hit the table in a very long time because I've always had such a hard time figuring out how to explain it to new players. The rule book is a neat idea, but we usually don't have 2 hours to teach the game. because of your video I think we may be able to play tonight.

Yay! this is my favorite game, and I am glad to see it gotten some love. Great tutorial! Keep em coming!

[SeeJayMac]

By far the best on this I've seen. Thanks so much!!

[JoachimErdtman]

Fantastic tutorial, and kudos for also making a setup video. Great work.

[Trinketorium]

Gosh, you need to take a breath! I'm worried you will pass out :D

You probably put a ton of time into this video, especially the script. I think I would prefer a longer video and clearer instructions because it was hard to follow at times.

Could you PLEASE next time speak twice as fast as in this video? I almost fell asleep...
