  1. 6 out of 10

    Really cool simple deduction, and much easier to teach than the app deduction in Alchemists. Beautiful and kinda fun, in the end it felt easy and rote.

  2. 5 out of 10

    A decent deduction game framed in a whack-a-mole coop a la Pandemic. It's an exceedingly simple trip with a couple moments of excitement, but it ultimately only finds any ground due to the tension in the high level of difficulty. You definitely want to play this with fewer players. Four is too many as the decision space and discussion simply is not strong nor deep enough to support that many. It also feels like it could get repetitive pretty quickly. The high difficulty is the one asset the game has in this regard. It does appear as though the Kickstarter exclusive content would help add longevity to the game (there's quite a bit of stuff missing from the retail release), but that does those of us who don't have it no good. The moving around, combat, and hand management aren't particularly gripping and it's an experience that's fine, relatable, and altogether something I'm not likely to remember a day after the play. Feels like a very standard, non essential release in the current industry climate. --------------------------------------------------- Full review: https://playerelimination.com/2018/05/14/i-am-not-groot-a-rising-5-review/

    The game itself is fine. The cooperation is interesting with the possibility to give your cards to support other player. It has very limited replayability value, after 3 plays I feel like I every next game would be almost the same. The biggest issue is the app, which, at least for me works very badly. Sometimes I spend 5 minutes until the app recognizes the pattern.

Find the lost runes and save the planet Asteros!

A long, long time ago, the ancient King of Asteros confined the brutal monsters in the Rune Gate and sealed it with four divine runes. But five days ago, a mysterious evil power opened the gate and changed the code. Asteros is haunted by fear and disasters again! The wise leader ORAKL asked the Council of United Planets and they sent four famous agents: EKHO, HAL, ELLI and NOVA. ORAKL the wise and the four brave agents begin to fight against the evil powers to save Asteros. They must find the Code to reset the Gate and confine the monsters again. People call them "Rising 5", hoping they will be able to restore peace on the planet.

Rising 5: Runes of Asteros is a co-operative deduction and adventure game with a mobile phone application or a game master. Players must find the answer Code with the four Runes in the right arrangement before the evil power devours the planet. Players can explore the planet to collect energy or clues and to fight against evil monsters. When players try to unlock the code, the App or the game master will give signs that lead to right code.

If players successfully find the code, they win; if the Darkness Level reaches the Red Moon because of the evil monsters or if the Character card deck is exhausted, the players lose the game.
