The Isle of Doctor Necreaux

A very difficult co-op game, where the difficulty stems mostly from unlucky die rolls. You get a certain number of turns to beat the game, and you determine as a group how many cards to encounter that turn. You then resolve the cards one at a time from the top, most of which require you to make some sort of die roll. Roll well and you do fine and progress to the next card, roll poorly and your characters die. Different characters you might randomly draw at the start of the game have luck mitigation abilities with a limited number of charges, and so the strategy comes from knowing when to burn charges and when not to. Overall the game is cute, but unremarkable. I could see being in the mood for it with the right group, but I'll need to add more dice to the box so that there are enough for each player to at least have one.

This is a truely difficult co-op that's a bit to random for my taste.

Has some great ideas, but is too difficult AND linear for me to really enjoy it. I want to feel like I lost because I made some poor decisions, not because the first ten cards just slaughtered us.
