NOTE: This game isn’t one that fits the “play nice” theme too well. You are out to survive much of the time:)

Overview with some explanation:
Many reviews refer to this game as a cooperative Carcassonne style game. This is a chill game that you can’t “lose”. A very relaxing game that still can stimulate your brain but with simple rules. Easy to play (but Game Night video did have a bunch of times where they didn’t follow the rules). Might be seen as a solo game that can be played with others, but the social aspect can be extremely fun too. Can play a game in 15-20 minutes and you will want to play two or three games in a row (per Board Game Happy review video).
PLUS it is a Legacy Style game with boxes to open as you achieve various goals.

Review:
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:
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)

How To Play (Watch It Played):
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!
