Watch “THE INITIATIVE | A Cooperative Game of Story, Strategy and Codebreaking!,” a board game review for The Initiative from Tabletop Tolson on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Tabletop Tolson on YouTube:
I am right in the middle of this 14 mission game and couldn't wait to tell you all about what makes it a worthwhile investment.
The Initiative is a cooperative game that pits players against the clock: they must discover the necessary clues to solve the code for each mission.
The game grows and adds enemies and obstacles each mission while maintaining a very reliable and consistent experience.
Did I mention that the game's storytelling element is a comic where the characters go on an adventure?!

About The Initiative, from BoardGameGeek:
The Initiative - a unique co-operative board game of story, strategy, and code-breaking - lets players take on the role of teenagers in 1994 who have found a mysterious board game called "The Key". Not only will they play The Key, but players will help the teens through a pivotal chapter of their lives by following a series of missions linked together via an interactive comic book.
The game's campaign is broken into a number of chapters, each taking 30-60 minutes to complete and each starting with you reading a page of the comic book. The story advances even if players fail a mission, but winning may provide a reward in the future. Each chapter builds on the knowledge and story from previous chapters, weaving narrative, code-breaking, and mystery into one thrilling game experience.
