Card drafting games are games in which players pick cards from a limited subset, such as a common pool, to gain some advantage (immediate or longterm) or to assemble hands of cards that are used to meet objectives within the game.
Card Drafting
Co-operative play encourages or requires players to work together to beat the game.
Cooperative Play
Dice rolling in a game can be used for many things, randomness being the most obvious. Dice can also be used as counters. The dice themselves can be unique and different sizes, shapes and colors to represent different things.
Dice Rolling
Play occurs upon a modular board that is composed of multiple pieces, often tiles or cards. In many games, board placement is randomized, leading to different possibilities for strategy and exploration.Some games in this category have multiple boards which are not used simultaneously, preserving table space. Unused boards remain out of play until they are required.
Modular Board
Variable Player Powers is a mechanic that grants different abilities and/or paths to victory to the players.
Variable Player Powers
Voting allows players to influence the outcome of certain events within the game. The vote may be all or nothing, choosing a target for an effect, or to determine the results of certain situations. Players’ votes may not have equal weight, and blocking a player from voting can be a valid tactic.
Voting
This mechanism requires players to select individual actions from a set of actions available to all players. Players generally select actions one-at-a-time and in turn order. There is usually(*) a limit on the number of times a single action may be taken. Actions are commonly selected by the placement of game pieces or tokens on the selected actions. Each player usually has a limited number of pieces with which to participate in the process.

  1. 8 out of 10

    Played through the campaign once during COVID quarantine. Game and story was pretty fun to me, just not sure if I'd ever get around to replaying this again

  2. 5 out of 10

    Update (lowering score after completing campaign): I don't recommend this game. Out of 7 scenarios, my enjoyment decreased with each one. It was still interesting to me around session 4, but I didn't even want to play 6 and 7 (trudged through them). -Crossroads cards are meaningless. They shouldn't even be in the game -There's no point in chasing personal objectives. Individual victory rewards aren't significant enough. -Some of the new components added in later scenarios are confusing. -I want to sell my copy, but the value is so low. Maybe I'll play it with the kids some day. Original comment (scored 9): I've only played the first episode so far, but everybody had a great time and is looking forward to next episode. I wonder at some of the other comments, because A) it was super easy to understand for the 2 people who knew nothing about the game prior to last night. We all groked it within 30 minutes or so. B) The tension was ever-present. Every contribution to the group objective was a tradeoff with my personal objectives. Two rounds in a row, I had to sacrifice a crew placement for the team goal, and I was seriously tempted to not do it. C) we all were laughing and having fun. The price tag is high. So far, that seems the most valid complaint I've seen. Though, consider that Scythe + Rise of Fenris probably gives an equivalent campaign experience for a similar price.

    „Gen7“ ist nun nach vier Jahren der zweite Titel aus der Crossroads-Serie. Aufmerksam geworden auf das Spiel bin ich – wie so oft – durch den Podcast von Shut up & Sit down (ab 12:47 min). Die Spieler befinden sich auf einem Raumschiff, was vor langer Zeit von der Erde aus gestartet ist, um in ferner Zukunft einen weit entfernten Planten zu kolonialisieren. Als Spieler sind wir Wissenschaftler und Ingenieure, die das Raumschiff nur am Laufen halten wollen. Es gibt aber immer wieder Zwischenfälle, welche die Mission scheitern lassen könnten. Bei BoardGameGeek lese ich gerade, dass es sich bei „Gen7“ um ein kooperatives Spiel handeln sollte. Davon habe ich bei unserer Probepartie gar nicht so viel mitbekommen. Eigentlich spielte jeder für sich und versuchte aufgrund des Würfel-Einsetz-Mechanismus die besten Optionen möglichst frühzeitig zu besetzen. Eine Absprache gab es eher weniger. Ganz im Gegenteil versuchten wir uns bei den Zielkarten, die man jede Runde erfüllen muss, eher gegenseitig auszustechen. Davon abgesehen spielte es sich ganz rund. Sehr viele von den Crossroads-Karten triggerten bei uns, was laut Erklärer aber reiner Zufall war. Er hätte ja auch nicht wissen können, wann wir welche Aktionen durchführen. Dadurch entstand jedenfalls eine interessante Geschichte mit diversen Entscheidungen. Derzeit gibt es das Spiel nur auf Englisch. Ob und wann es auf Deutsch erscheint, weiß ich leider nicht. Ich vermute aber, dass es übersetzt wird. Kaufen würde ich es auf alle Fälle nur auf Deutsch, weil es sehr textlastig ist.

An international colony ship has left an exhausted Earth, headed for a distant planet in the Epsilon Eridani system. Thirteen generations will be born on this vessel before it reaches its destination, each generation a steward of the hopes and ideals of the human species. For six generations, everything has gone as planned….

Now, just as a new command team takes control of the ship, a terrible mystery emerges that will threaten the entire mission. The commanders of Gen7 are about to discover that everything is not as it seems, and the fate of the human species will hang on the choices they make.

In the tradition of the award-winning Dead of Winter, Gen7: A Crossroads Game is a grand narrative game with multiple possibilities. The choices players make as they play will alter the direction of the story. Gen7 will constantly challenge its players with a variety of unique situations that force them to make difficult moral decisions. Will you compromise your integrity to ensure the safety of your crew? Will you value their lives over the safety of the mission?
