Adventure Games: Monochrome Inc. A thrilling adventure set in the headquarters of Monochrome Inc., a biotech company with some nasty secrets. You manage to get inside, and then it’s up to you to figure out what to do. Similar to a PC adventure game, players have to explore spaces, combine items, find clues, and talk to people. Step by step, you’ll start to grasp the plot and devise a plan. A fascinating story unfolds with each action. Teamwork makes the dream work. This board game has simple rules and can be played multiple times. There is enough story content to play approximately three times with different stories each time. AGES 16+ MSRP: $19.95.
My younger daughter is 10, but she's a fairly mature 10, so we decided to try The Dungeon with her. The game play ideas are similar to escape games, where it's fairly open-ended. Unlike the Exit Games from Thames & Kosmos (which I've also thoroughly enjoyed), these have variations that allow for playing several times. The Dungeon is intriguing enough to hold our family's interest all the way through, and even if my younger one isn't able to contribute a lot, she is able to follow what's going on and stay engaged.
Adventure Games: The Dungeon You wake up in a dank dungeon. It seems impossible to find your way out, especially since none of you can remember what brought you there. Similar to a PC adventure game, players have to explore spaces, combine items, find clues, and talk to people. Step by step, you’ll start to grasp the plot and devise a plan to escape. Leave no stone unturned. Exciting to the end. This board game has simple rules and can be played multiple times. There is enough story content to play approximately three times with different stories each time. AGES 12+ MSRP: $19.95.
We haven't yet tried Monochrome Inc., since my daughters are both younger than the suggested age, but if it's anything like The Dungeon it will be a hit at our next adult game night!
