Level 7 [Omega Protocol]

A game that requires good planning and understanding of the rules for the alien player. One small misplacement of a vent may easily cost you the game. It's a great game IF you have a consistent group that plays often.

Cool fresh air to games like Space Hulk. With some original mechanics and good tactical combat. On the other hand the games could get pretty long, production is not awesome, and strategy at some points can be kind of chaotic

This is my favorite dungeon crawl game. The overlord gets a board of activatable abilities, but the cute thing is the different abilities have different cooldown timers, represented by depleting the tokens you spent on the actions at different rates. The players get to do a certain number of actions on their turn, and each point they spend becomes currency for the overlord taking actions. The dice seemed well balanced, with few rolls missing completely. The heroes seemed to have meaningful choices not just in where they stood and who they shot, but they get different stance cards that effect their stats for that round. :nostar: Art, Iconography and components functional :star: Clever or interesting mechanisms :star: Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players :star: Multiple plays stay interesting :nostar: Low or mitigatable luck elements :star::star::star::star::star: Raw enjoyment
