"Nothing original but solid, streamlined execution" really sums it up. Biggest surprise of 2018 for me.

Dead Space under the sea.

13:50 Clarification, you only flip over the # of sanity tokens equal to the terror value of the monster ONLY when killed. In this case Delirium has 1 terror so you would flip 1 sanity token to it's madness side. If you killed the Delirium without using any sanity (or you had to flip 2 tokens, but only had one sanity token on your character sheet) you'd take a consciousness card for each token you cannot flip--in my example you'd flip 1 to madness and take 1 consciousness card. In addition you only take a madness card when your madness tokens = your sanity value on your character card (usually 3, but not always).

I'd like to see a "fun" category. I'm always trying to figure out how much fun you actually had playing the game throughout the review.

[@Aaackermann]

Agreed! I also think his target system is a little restrictive and sometimes all over the place. But I liked, that he decided to change the order for this review! That was way cleaner and more informative.

[@ilqrd.6608]

I like how Zee didn’t even reply to this...

[@WyldMooN00]

This looks like a mix between Zombicide Invaders and Death May Die (although it came before both)

[@flex2themax]

Thanks for the review Zee. Merry Christmas! :)

[@nekochen]

It is a fun game and the story snippets between missions are absolutely superb. To me, it feels like Doom video game in a box. But, the core game has way too many useless item search cards, and it really narrows down to that best 8 to 9 cards that's almost a guaranteed keep in every scenario. Whether you draw those important search cards early or not makes a huge difference in the flow of the game.

[@RichardKurbis]

Got the KS, full back plus... love painting minis... the Mini's will need a bit of milliput/epoxy-clay to get rid of joint seems but overall solid looking sculpts... can't wait to finally have it arrive at my doorstep.

[@TheErnieforss]

Wow after watching other reviews, i figured this would get a bad score from zee garcia. I was afraid to bring it to the table because its so hard. But now i'm optimistic.

[@esierrra9]

So glad i backed this 😁

[@DREADLURKER]

@@ABCTraveler-ol5oj in what way?

[@urahi830]

because it has dice and characters and monsters and a map, duh

[@walkaroundincircles]

Where do you get this though? I've been trying to find it online and can't. :'(

Hey hey People. Zee here.

[@TheloniusMage]

He may have ocean madness, but that's no excuse for ocean rudeness.

[@Kamatori2011]

I understood that reference. Very nice.

[@ultimate26]

How about showing the cards and miniatures to show why its hard to see?

[@ABCTraveler-ol5oj]

printing color is very dark. he is right. its hard to see, and I saw this game in Gen con in summer 2018 when they had early gen con pledge with discount, the art work on board and card color is very dark.

[@taponaramos2461]

Zombicide: Deep Horror

[@williamgarcia-medina9989]

Tapona Ramos lol yup

[@cristaniancatembung1160]

Lovecraftian games and I’m game!

[@richardxob]

still waiting for the nemesis review...

[@oneanotherstudios]

Me, too!

[@rollingwithrob6579]

Does sound very similar

[@HeroOfTheWeb]

Tom reviewed it. He doesn't like Aliens so he was very meh about it. I own it and it is fun, but not the best game in my collection.

[@TheRmm1976]

Arkham Horror, Sci-Fi Edition!

[@cristaniancatembung1160]

Totally agree!

[@KristoVaher]

Seems like Nemesis does this and then more?

[@thedicetower]

I feel like they are two VERY different games.

[@tryhardmyass]

zee i gotta say i love your reviews and your point of view. I have but a single petition: don't be so analytical; games are not about how they score on a scale, they are about fun, when we try to decide if we want to buy a game we want to know how does it feel, as an experience, and you are good at that. Please go back to let us know how fun a game is! Saludos desde Barcelona :)

[@MichaelTE]

So, a game can go pear shaped just because you can never roll any 5s or 6s on an attack? This seems like it's just another rng heavy coin flip to win kind of game.

[@Alluvian567]

Ugh, so dark. Cannot see the difference between the tiles and the flipped tiles at all. Very colorblind unfriendly. Game looks fun, visually I think it is a mess.

[@ABCTraveler-ol5oj]

@Xastur Speaks printing color is very dark. he is right. its hard to see, and no, we are not color blind. I saw this game in Gen con in summer 2018 when they had early gen con pledge with discount, the art work color is very dark.

[@bri665]

@@ABCTraveler-ol5oj Xastur is a troll whose comments do not deserve a response.

[@aaronutley]

The dark, low-contrast artwork is, in my opinion, the weakest part of the game.
