Dead Space under the sea.

[@duncancole1742]

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

[@MashingP]

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).

Thanks for the review Zee. Merry Christmas! :)

[@boardgameknight2791]

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)

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@Schlaym]

Hey hey People. Zee here.

[@walkaroundincircles]

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

[@DREADLURKER]

@@ABCTraveler-ol5oj in what way?

[@urahi830]

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

[@cristaniancatembung1160]

Lovecraftian games and I’m game!

Arkham Horror, Sci-Fi Edition!

[@cristaniancatembung1160]

Totally agree!

[@taponaramos2461]

Zombicide: Deep Horror

[@williamgarcia-medina9989]

Tapona Ramos lol yup

[@TheloniusMage]

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

[@Kamatori2011]

I understood that reference. Very nice.

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@KristoVaher]

Seems like Nemesis does this and then more?

[@thedicetower]

I feel like they are two VERY different games.

[@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.

[@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.

[@aaronutley]

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