This really shouldn’t work, y’know. On first viewing, Feed the Kraken seems cobbled together. Most of it is the core of The Resistance with a huge board and zany rules and tonnes of player elimination added in. Then there’s the rotoscoped art of the designers and their mates. It all, on the face of it, seems quite unedifying but, in spite of all my misgivings, I sat down to play it. To my surprise, it resulted in one of the funniest and most dramatic social deduction experiences I’ve had in ages.
