I had an objective to kill another player. The others cotton on and coordinate to blow me out the airlock and save the crewmember. They play amazingly, kill the queen in a huge climatic battle and all go to sleep... except the player they saved from me. Turns out his objective was kill everyone. They're all helpless and screaming as he sabotages the engines and hops in an escape pod leaving them all to explode. It was a perfect game.

I’m still not 100% sure on this ruling, but the people I’ve played with online and in person have said that you can still MANUALLY break the engines using a repair card. You just can’t activate self destruct. It doesn’t state anywhere in the rules you can’t mess with the engines once someone is in hibernation, but it EXPLICITLY states you cannot activate self destruct once someone is asleep.

After 2 years my best memory of a boardgame session is this game where i gained everyone's trust with my sacrifices through out the game to betray them at the last minute when they all went in to deep sleep with blowing up the ship and escaping in a pod. The best part? I didn't even need to kill them all i only needed to kill one player but revealing that they all lost at the victory check and seeing their faces was priceless. If anyone is doubting about this game, don't it's perfect if you get use to the mechanics and find a way to betray everyone 😁

"Captain Sock Puppet Sullivan" This expedition was doomed before it even left the planet. I love the variety in these Masterpieces videos. From the last video having a simple little game about moving stones without any theme to one of the most heavily thematic games out there with a myriad of components (and I would imagine, heaviest box.) I would absolutely love it if you're planning to feature this on Board Game Club. (Halloween month fits games with a creepy theme!) A game with a price tag 2-3 times that of similar games is a bit difficult to justify picking up and I imagine you also need a separate building to store the box, akin to Gloomhaven, but it would be a joy to see you all play it!

I like explaining noise tokens as the creaks you're hearing from the vents moreso than the noise you're making. It makes more sense mechanism and themeatic-wise. I genuinely don't remember how it explains it in the rulebook, but it avoids people saying, "How'd I make noise in corridor 3 while moving in corridor 2." It wasn't you. You don't know what it was ........See? It's better :p

@shanewilliams9122 2 жыл бұрын

Easily one of my favorite games I own. So thematic and fun, even when I play solo (I generally play as two characters if I do go solo). I was two turns from the ship going into Hyperspace, I was at the Evacuation Room A ready to get off the ship, when I realized I forgot to unlock the Pod. Then I had to roll for noise, and suddenly The Queen appeared in the room. Sneak attack murdered me. Such a brilliant ending.

@alaric_ 10 ай бұрын

@@kev_whatev They avoid the stereotypical 'bad guy'-look and can portray more normal (in the outside) villain. Subconciously the viewer also doesn't think them as a threat as they have funny and positive feel for them. One example might be the human villain in 'Predators', it really was a suprise in the end and the actor was excellent in portraying an evil villain. But this does require the writer and director to actively suppress their funny moments to not take away the illusion.

@elaine9223 2 жыл бұрын

We love this game and have so many great stories from past games. Superb overview! One thing about the noise tokens is it is noise you are hearing, not noise you are making. The noise you hear makes more thematic sense, too and explains why you don't place a token with careful movement. You hear the same things down the same corridor that your mate does.

@mechasduo004 2 жыл бұрын

With careful movement you still place a noise token, you just get to chose what corridor it goes in. Which is great late game when there are noise tokens everywhere and you cant carefully move when the room has all its corridors already full.
