Los Viajes del Capitán Foucault (2015)

About this game

Los Viajes del Capitán Foucault is a social deduction game in real time for 3 to 6 players about a group of alien philosophers from another dimension that travel in time to our past in order to "fix" us. Debate, philosophical pondering meet with a whimsical theme and ludicrous reasoning and roleplaying. Each player will have a philosopher and a Personal Agenda, but there will be ways in which everyone can lose, or win, or some, or two, or only one... No two games will be the same. The philosophers have advanced abilities both thematically and mechanically inspired by actual concepts by actual thinkers from history.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 15 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
