I placed this game on my Board and think it's a game other message boards would enjoy. This version of it is called "Space Exploration".
This one is my favorites and my Dad introduced it to me when I was but a wee laddie. I still find it a very good mind exercise. Feel free to 'steal' the game idea for your boards.
The storyline:
You are chosen to be the Captain for a mission to explore space. You will be gone for 10 years and the mission will be to collect as much data as you can gather about the different planets and stars in the galaxy, as well as being ambassadors from earth in case you meet any intelligent life forms.
Your first job:
Your first job is to select your crew. You must select 10 people to man your ship. When making your selections, you must consider all your needs for the mission.
The Rules:
1. The people you select are chosen by "Fields", or "Occupations". Don't say that you are taking a particular person, but rather choose the field of employment the person is in.
2. The people you pick may have a dual specialty, but the specialties have to be related. You may use such a specialty as Doctor/Surgeon, but you may not use a specialty such as Ship's Engineer/Doctor or Doctor/Security Chief.
3. The people you pick may have secondary knowledge that is useful to the mission. For example, a Person might be knowledgable about cooking or other things which do not require a great deal of schooling and experience.
4. It is assumed, since the crew is so small, that everyone will be able to act as a "fill-in"... such as being a member of the security team.
5. It is permissable to mix rank with occupation. For example a person might be an engineer as well as the first mate.
