Misdirection (2019)

About this game

You and your band of adventurers have stumbled onto treasure in a cave, but you’ve awoken a powerful enemy. You want the treasure all to yourself, and you’ll do anything to anyone that gets in the way, and that means other adventurers. In Misdirection, 2-8 players are pitted against each other with the sole goal of surviving. With a global enemy in play, players don't attack each other; instead players force other players to play cards they don't want to resulting in the enemy attacking them. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
