The space ship of the crazy Microminds has crashed and must be repaired in missions with the assistance of players and their smartphones. The necessary App is available for free download.

You set up the board, place your smartphone into the holder and start the App. Microminds guide you through the game. Components for the necessary repairs on the ship are included in the game in the form of cardboard tiles.

A missions starts with the King of the Microminds. You move the smartphone to the king and he tells you the mission via phone camera. You find the corresponding components and load them up to the ship, that is, you move the phone to the corresponding position on the board and scan the necessary components via phone camera. Three games for the smartphone enable you to process the repair components: Projektor - you must turn the scanned items into necessary resources, shoot at them with the projector cannon and then collect the necessary globes. Fluidator - The App indicates the necessary color and status of components, you must transport the appearing containers to the tank. Konstruktor - Microminds assemble a machine and you need to transport the Microminds to the correct positions by snipping them. Five modifiers for each game assist you in solving the missions. If is of course possible to play missions several times in order to improve your results.

All in all, this offers a new way to play with interesting options from the combination of board game and smartphone. The Microminds are learning from mission to mission and so are the players, because missions are accompanied by information, available from a Micropedia.
