Endangered Orphans of Condyle Cove (2017)

About this game

A deplorable tabletop game devoid of joy, hope, or humor; which, regrettably, is also far more awesome than it has any right to be. In Endangered Orphans of Condyle Cove, players take turns choosing to move around the board, playing options to either help their orphan survive, or make their opponent's orphan suffer. When an orphan either runs out of options, or in an act of desperation, reveals the boogeyman, the boogeyman takes the orphan. When all but one orphan are taken by the boogeyman, the game ends, and the last orphan to survive is the winner. The Endangered Orphans set includes: Condyle Cove Core Game Boogeyman Solo Play Figure Fourth Player Expansion Last Winter Expansion The Ghost of Benny Harris Expansion

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 4. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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 14 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
