Watch “Last Week of Summer - 5 Reasons this Kickstarter game is Rad!,” a board game review for Last Week of Summer from BoxedMeeples on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by BoxedMeeples on YouTube:

It’s 1986. Big hair, neon lights, and cassette mixtapes rule the world. Last Week of Summer, from Allies or Enemies, isn’t just one game—it’s six. Like a perfectly curated mixtape, it blends different mini-games into an hour-long experience that captures the feeling of those final carefree days before entering into the real world. We’ve got five reasons why this game stands out, from its nostalgic charm to its clever mechanics. If you spent the ’80s (or wish you had) dropping quarters into arcade machines, visiting the skate park or got lost in the world of vinyl and VHS rentals, this board game might be for you. The game is currently crowdfunding, so if it sounds like your kind of retro rewind, now’s the time to check it out.

About Last Week of Summer, from BoardGameGeek:

It's the summer of 1986, you just graduated high school and you have one more week of summer before it's time to head off to the real world. Last Week Of Summer combines turn programming and worker placement with a variety of mini games. Each game, players set up their town using 4 or 5 of the possible locations: Pick up a movie at the Video Store, get high scores at the Arcade, grab some Fast Food, hang at the U-Mart, get the coolest (but not too cool) albums at the Music Store, or learn some tricks at the Skatepark. Each of these locations links 80's theme to a classic mechanism - set collection, tile placement, market manipulation, mancala, push your luck, dice rolling, and more. Players plan their day and then simultaneously move from place to place as they compete to make friends with the coolest kids in town, get invited to the best parties, and complete location specific goals. As you complete goals you make memories by placing cassettes on locations (these represent the songs that bring you back to those summer days). Whoever has the most cassettes at the end of the week is the winner. -description from the designer
