Rotten to the Core

Was it fun?

I had so much fun playing this game, the game play is fun and calming, I also love the entire theme. I felt like I was most definitely the target audience since I am obsessed with the creepy earthy feel of the game.

What were the player interactions?

My favorite interaction was when you would roll an investigation card, you could roll again to frame it on another player.

How long did it take to learn?

Barely took me 5 minutes, it was very easy to catch onto

Would you play it again?

Absolutely

Analyze the game using the 3 act structure.

The beginning, you have a dead body that you need to make sure goes through the elements to decompose, and not get caught by investgators

You eventually gain suspicion through your rolls, or you continuously see bugs and the weather decompose your body through time

In the end, your bodies eventually decay fully, and the amount of points you lost through suspicion are lost, and you determine a winner!

What are the collaborative and or competitive aspects of the game?

I think the most competitive aspect was framing others if you roll a second glass. It is super fun and keeps people on their toes

What is the game’s metaphor and which of the game’s mechanics standout?
