How To Play (I tend to lose more in family mode without the specialist characters):
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 :)

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):
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”.
