You can't talk freely — you win by reading silence, one allowed signal, and the cards your crewmates throw. Clearing an 'impossible' mission together feels like the whole table shared one brain.

Why players love it
“A sequel that essentially says “do you want more of the things you liked about the base game?” and then delivers with an entirely new type of Task card.”— What's Eric Playing?
The honest verdict
What's lovely
- A deep 96-mission cooperative campaign with huge replayability
- Tiny box, cheap, travels anywhere
- A communication puzzle that creates genuine tension
Fair warnings
- Pure co-op can suffer a dominant 'quarterback' player
- Needs a committed group for the mission book
- Hard to grab at MSRP right now
Where to find it
Sold out at Thames & Kosmos when we last looked — light the wick and we'll watch for its return.
Heartfelt disclosure: an enchanted link may earn the cabinet a small commission, at no cost to you — and it never changes what we recommend.
