Human Punishment: The Beginning (Kickstarter – Leader Pledge)
120m - 180m
2 - 5 Players
Ages 14+
Deduction
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
Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.
Hand Management
This mechanic usually requires players to pick up an item or good at one location on the playing board and bring it to another location on the playing board. Initial placement of the item can be either predetermined or random. The delivery of the good usually gives the player money to do more actions with. In most cases, there is a game rule or another mechanic that determines where the item needs to go.
Pick-up and Deliver
The primary goal of a set collection mechanic is to encourage a player to collect a set of items.
Set Collection
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.

Overly long, excessive downtime, convoluted and messy ruleset, lovely production though. 5 experienced gamers who normally love social deduction style games (Unfathomable, New Angeles) struggled through it for over 4 hours, and it wasn't right for us at all.

For the time investment, you could be playing something that is much better designed. Human Punishment: The Beginning wants to be a lot simultanously, I mean look at the listings here on BBG: • Categories: Bluffing, Deduction, Science Fiction, Spies/Secret Agents • Mechanisms: Area Movement, Deduction, Dice Rolling, Hand Management, Hidden Roles, Pick-up and Deliver, Semi-Cooperative Game, Set Collection, Team-Based Game, Traitor Game, Variable Player Powers, Voting. Sounds like it would be hard to pull that off all at once, rigth? Well, it is, and this game does not succeed in doing it. Far from it. This is a bloated, feature-crept game with a REALLY slow pace, that doesn't scratch my itch for either social deduction, hand management, character construction or battle strategy game. Looks good on paper, plays like watching paint dry. I'm presuming that the high score comes from people who have backed this on Kickstarter for a lot of money, and are too invested to admit how awful it plays. Nice quality components though if you got the KS upgrades. If the thought of having shiny things in your bookshelf gives you joy, regardless of if you ever take them out and use them, this migth be a game for you. Otherwise, if you are going to choose a multi-hour session game, choose one where the complexity actually adds fun to the gameplay. I'd much rather just sit and talk to my friends for four hours, this game actively worsens our time spent together.
