| - | Artemis is a six-player cooperative space exploration/combat game; it simulates the five main bridge stations of a starship, along with its captain. While (usually) not a technically difficult game, Artemis' forced-cooperation dynamic makes for a pretty unique experience. Basically, the way I like to think about it is that you spend a few hours learning the stations (it doesn't actually _take_ that long to learn them all, but since you'll be sitting at the same station for an entire game of 30 or so minutes, that's kinda how it works out) and then you see Artemis for what it really is: a framework to facilitate belligerent yelling. | + | Artemis is a six-player cooperative space exploration/combat game; it simulates the five main bridge stations of a starship, along with its captain.

I'm just saying. | Artemis does take place on computers, but make no mistake: it's very much a party game. Once you get the basics down, there is no station so difficult that you can't play drunk.
