HUNTED: KOBAYASHI TOWER
It’s your wife Sharon’s birthday, so you decided to surprise her at work with some roses and that expensive chocolate she’s always craving. Your marriage has been in a bit of a rough spot lately, and you were hoping today would be a bit of a turning point. Little did you know that as you arrived at Kobayashi Tower, a group of terrorists were securing the building and rounding up everyone inside as hostages. You managed to elude them, but your wife has been taken and is somewhere in the building.
Now, you’ll have to work your way through the skyscraper, take out the terrorists, and rescue your wife while the terrorists try to hunt you down.
Hunted: Kobayashi Tower is a fast-paced solo game that constantly presents you with tense choices. All the cards are multi-use forcing you to make quick decisions about which ones to discard and which ones to activate. You’ll have to balance running, fighting, and hiding if you want to save your wife and get out of the building alive.
This game in the Hunted series uses a dice-rolling mechanism to resolve events and combat.

HUNTED: MINING COLONY 415
You were on your way back to earth after a year-long mission when a distress beacon abruptly roused you from hypersleep. The message was mostly static, but it was obvious that something terrible was happening at Mining Colony 415.
Once you and your crew landed and started looking around, unidentified lifeforms started wreaking havoc. During the chaos, everyone got split up and you don’t know if anyone is alive or dead. Even Sprinkles, the ship’s cat, is missing.
You just heard over the colony’s announcement system that the self-destruct protocol has been activated, so you’ll have to race back to Landing Pad 7 to get aboard your ship and get out of there before everything explodes… and you’ll have to do it while being hunted by the aliens.

(PNP version) Raised my score to a 6 after incorporating some of the second edition rules. Not sure if I like it enough to actually print out that version as well (lot of ink), but it definitely balanced it out enough that I didn't feel like I would die at all times due to sheer bad luck. Still, I don't feel like there is a ton of influence I exert over the outcome. It's a push your luck, but luck is definitely the operative word here. Still, it can be fun to just turn your brain off for a bit and cruise through the deck, hoping the card draw and dice roll are in your favor. "Will play when in the mood" really is the perfect description of this game for me.

This is a nice solo play game with a fun story, that is greatly enhanced if you are of the generation that has enjoyed the movie it is based on. The push your luck mechanic of the Hunted series is fun to work with, and the dice chucker fight mechanic works well. Once you figure out how to manipulate the dice in your favor, and which fights to avoid, winning is challenging, but easy to attain.

Difficult - the cards and dice can be punishing, but it adds to the theme of risking your life. I love the art and graphic design, but it just didn't have interesting decisions. The black box is annoyingly ambiguous on the shelf.
