Exit: The Game

From Board Game Barrage Wiki

Not one, but a family of games that are designed to mimic an escape room. Exit: the Game is a timed, cooperative or solo puzzle that often involves using components in clever and unexpected ways. The games can only be played once, as solving it involves folding, marking, tearing, or otherwise destroying certain components.

Exit: The Game won the Kennerspiel des Jahres in 2017.

We're moving into the terrible teens of the Board Game Barrage Top 50 Games of All Time. I learned all I know about American teenagers from TV, so I assume this is where all the sex and drugs come in. Let's get to it then, forty (roughly) more games that we simply adore. As the list goes on, they only get better and better. That is, after all, the premise.

No, not that game. We're talking about the life cycles of games, how we acquire them, how we end up moving on from them. Where do we generally get our games from, and how do we typically get rid of them? Things get a little bit existential before the end. Before we, blinking, step into the sun, we also talk about Eternal: Chronicles of the Throne, 18Lilliput, and Tonari.
