Death Station

Death Station

2026·Susumu Kawasaki

2 - 5 players
25 min

From BoardGameGeek

In this 2-5 player asymmetric party game, one player plays a role of a sadistic TV Presenter of a deadly corporate game show, while the rest play desperate contestants trying to escape with their lives and cash. The game runs on fast-paced, 24-second rounds. The Presenter secretly places blockades and trap tiles on a grid behind a screen, and the Participants have to quickly deduce the open spaces and grab Evacuation Tokens before the timer runs out. Playing it safe with a Safe Token yields no rewards, but correctly claiming success squares earns players Escape Cards worth between one and five million credits. Contestants wear electronic belts that absorb two trap hits, but a third strike means total elimination and losing all collected prizes to the Presenter. Whenever a player gets too close to winning, a twist event card is triggered altering the rules for the upcoming round. The game also includes adjusted rules for 2-3 players and an optional Ability Card variant for 4-5 players. Participants win by hoarding 5 or more Escape Cards, while the Presenter wins if everyone is wiped out or if they end the game with a higher total prize value. -description from the publisher
