Earth Gambit: Light

Earth Gambit: Light

2024·Liana Manukyan

2 - 10 players
15 - 30 min
Medium weight: Teach it in one sitting

From BoardGameGeek

Earth Gambit: Light is a social adventure game with extraterrestrials, hidden identities, and tough choices. In this game, you will play as the Aliens, the Scientists, or the Extinctionists, who each have very different plans for Earth and the course of the Earthlings' science. Advance the science by playing science cards, stall your opponents by playing action cards, and share your research by passing cards to other players, but who can you really trust? Can you make the right choice if there is no good choice at all? Time is limited, options even more so. Draw one, play one, pass one, and keep one for the future (if there will be one). Don't think too hard, it's not chess, it's just the fate of Earth, that's in your hands. Note: The game has elements of social deduction with hidden identities, but not a social deduction game per se. That's why we call it a Social Adventure game. -description from the publisher
