An easier version of “The Game”, but it actually has different rules!

How To Play:
I have the first map and ordered the full game. It is a roll and write game that can be played coop, competitive or solo. It also can be played as a legacy game. It ties together with a graphic novel(s). It employs computer logic and hacking. And you can play it for free while you wait for the final printed game to be delivered at Christmas NEXT YEAR :)

The game itself is set within the SOLAR-175 universe (which, of course, is another game) … see the end of this page!
Game Overview:
It’s like the Project L game taken to a new level (er, building level that is)
1-4 players for the base game. The expansion expands the player count to 6 as well as adds new tiles, dice and options.

Overview (including the Monuments expansion):
This game ties in quite well with the famous book (references at the bottom)! One of the videos said that they got the game first and then went and bought the book! We love the book, so I jumped at the chance to get a used copy of the game at I’m Board! Each player constructs a planet on a 4×4 grid so several of the videos compared it to Kingdomino (each player constructs a 5×5 land area)

Playthrough – 2 player with one of the 3 selection tiles hidden (queued up to where they start playing the game)
A trick taking card game similar to THE CREW (published by the same company) but with a “traitor” as part of the team! So it is a coop game with the twist that the INSIDER can win the game instead of the team!

How To / Review:
The New York update to the great game Santorini with three dimensional building pieces you use during game play! The New York update now is more fun with 3 or 4 players and has multiple special ability cards!

How To Play:
Can play this game using the cards from the game The Mind (just add the cards placed in the middle of the table)

Explanation and Playthrough:
If you like Clue, you should like Awkward Guests!
It plays longer with more people. With fewer people it misses the choice of who to trade with (so 3 players might be best). However, a 2 player game avoids the chance to keep getting the same cards over again because cards exchanged are then discarded. Solo mode is also quite good!

How to Play with Review:
Note: be careful watching videos about this game because some are referencing the original edition which was never published … it was cancelled and relaunched as a new updated edition which is now referred to as “First Edition”.
