Best Board Game of the Month - November 2023 Outlive and Tamashii Chronicle of Ascend Reviewed

Description provided by BoxedMeeples on YouTube:

Of all the board games we played in November, why did Libby love the apocalyptic worker placement game Outlive? And, after years of waiting why did Tamashii : Chronicle of Ascend by Awaken Realms Lite exceed expectations? Tamashii: Chronicle of Ascend is a new title created by Awaken Realms Lite. It is a co-operation adventure experience for 1-4 players set in a unique universe of post-apocalyptic cyberpunk world ruled by A.I. Actions play out in Japan. You can see the heavy influence of Japanese culture in design and art. The game is aimed to provide a great adventure experience at a good entry level. It is not a complex monolith that Awaken Realms is known for (after all, this is from the AR Lite team!). While being a lighter game, you can still expect great gameplay, awesome art & miniatures, and an engaging story that will lead you through multiple scenarios and provide tons of hours of excellent storytelling fun. Outlive is a management/survival game in a post-apocalyptic universe in which nature has overcome its rights amongst the world of Men. In Outlive, players have six days (turns) to send heroes gathering resources during the day, while avoiding threats from other players and reinforce their settlements during the night, trying to recruit new survivors and adapt to the new world. The specifics: movements and resource gathering are compelled by your hero's strength. You play six rounds (six days) that are divided between the day phase and the night phase. During the day phase, you move your four heroes of different strength on the board to collect resources with a mechanical movement innovative and interactive. During the night phase, you manage your shelter, feed your survivors and recruit new ones, organize your survival, and improve your rooms and objects. Only one clan can outlive this devastated world! ------- If you are looking to buy Board Games Online head on over to Chaos Cards https://www.chaoscards.co.uk/ We find they offer fantastic prices, and if you enter the discount code M3RRYM33PLES - you'll save 5% off when you spend £35+.
