🔥 Review
This game has some really fun parts. My favorite part, and I’m sure that most player agree with me, is the negotiation part. You really can win this game purely based on your social skills, and I like that. Also it is fun to see the different tactics from the players. Some try to eliminate others to take their items, but others just focus mainly on the escape points.
The game is easy to learn, and the number of players can be stretched to more than six. Then you only have to wait a long time before it is your turn, because a turn can take a couple of minutes because players can do more actions than only one.
The downfall with the negotiation and forming little pacts is that some players are eliminated fast, and the rest of the game they just sit their.
But in the end this is a really fun and original party game, with a great theme.
Score: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
