Game Over (2012)

About this game

In Game Over, each player is a small barbarian looking for his princess, but she's locked away in a dungeon — represented by a 5x5 square of face-down cards — and to free her you need to locate the key. To visit a room, place your character on a card, then reveal it to see what you encounter; perhaps something unfortunate like Blorks, the exit (which you can hope to use later), or perhaps even the key... Game Over is based on the comics of the same name illustrated by Midam.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
