Zoom Scouts is a game about the last five minutes or so of an episode of Power Rangers, where everyone has assembled into the megazord and is now going toe-to-toe with a huge rose or pig or fire hydrant or whatever.

It's 8 pages, with some really cute, dynamic mecha art and a perfectly readable layout. The writing is upbeat and clever, and the tone is light and engaging.

Mechanically, Zoom Scouts is pretty close to Belonging Outside Belonging, in that you can take actions that tilt the fight towards disaster in order to gain coins that let you take actions to tilt the fight in your favor.

Like Belonging Outside Belonging, you can't really lose. Eventually, you all accumulate and spend enough coins to use your super attacks, and then you win. There's no condition where the monster of the week can beat you.

That said, this lack of mechanical tension doesn't take away from the fun of the game. The point is to do scenery-chewing, hyperbolic nonsense, and as long as your group's on board, you're going to have a good time.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anyone who's nostalgic about old tokusentai shows, and to anyone who's looking for a short game without mechanical challenge. As a goofy one-shot or a stream game, I think it'd really shine.
