The Crew missing 5-player transfer rule

Post by choog »

The Crew has a rule that only applies to 5-player games: After task selection the group can agree to move one task to a different player.

IMO, this is intended to make the 5-player game slightly easier because it is the most difficult player count.

We saw the notification during our game, indicating that this is available after the 25th Mission, but couldn't figure out the UI for it.

Supposedly can be done, but much be done before any cards/hints are played.

We couldn't figure it out, either. I think it must not be enabled on BGA yet. We often have 5 in our group for this game and it is super hard after the first few missions with this many players.

A new separated version is coming soon in alpha, probably this week, which implements this rule along various other improvements

Too late for us! :)

Just finished the whole lot with 5 players last night - it was a tough but fun challenge..

Thanks for the implementation - once you have played a couple of hands it's super smooth.

Can confirm that the Transfer rule is available after the 25th Mission.

edit: this is wrong.

After the 25th mission, click on the black satellite token. Once clicked, it will prompt you to confirm, after which you can choose to pass left, right, or stay.

Reminder that you can only click the black satellite token and initiate the transfer BEFORE any clues are given and any cards are played, and AFTER all the tasks are distributed.

edit: As per Tisaac's note below, this is the wrong rule I'm looking at (distress, not transfer).

That's not the transfer rule, that's the distress signal you are describing
