gamerdad We picked up a copy of this new game at a board game store in Calgary while killing time before a backcountry hiking trip, and our first couple rounds were sat in the lobby of our staging hotel.

As a #cooperativegame board game it was as much a social evening sorting thru the rules and chatting thru strategy as it was a focused games round.

We had a few curious gazes as other guests made their way past over the hour and a half but no one looked too far askew at what four middle aged hosers were doing playing a weird game at a random hotel in Calgary on a Wednesday evening.
