A Most Excellent Experience! The game quickly immersed us in its setting and atmosphere. The concept of playing as survivors on a road trip really resonated with the players. While aliens never directly appeared during the short campaign, the constant references and anticipation of their presence created a tense and suspenseful atmosphere, even without explicit encounters. Then the mechanics of the game really helped drive home (pun) the road trip experience. Characters and their abilities were very smooth but dynamic enough to keep senior players and junior players entertained and present. Overall the "road trip" & "alien apocalypse" story links combined with the game phase mechanics really created a memorable organic team like chemistry that we will always share... like any good road trip does.
