A Most Excellent Trip! 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 help drive home (pun) the road trip experience. Characters and their skills/abilities were very smooth but dynamic enough to keep senior players and junior players highly entertained and enthralled in the story. Overall, the "road trip" & "alien apocalypse" concepts 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.
