From the maker of In Other Waters.
It was elegant, it was unusual and it worked - it made a big impression on me.
Their new gameCitizen Sleeperleaves a similar impression but it works rather differently.
Citizen Sleeper
Citizen Sleeper is a mixture of board game and role-playing game.
The board game part is more complex.
It’s based around dice rolls and rounds.
Every round, a new set of dice is rolled.
While all of this is going on, gauges fill.
Except, you’ve woken on a space station and slipped your corporate shackles somehow.
And in doing so, you will learn more about the wider story and your place in it.
That’s the rough set-up.
It’s a lot to get your head around - it’s a lot to take in up front.
You begin to feel a game and story in flow.
It’s clever, it’s classy, and I think Gareth Damian Martin is onto a winner again.
