Everyone’s your enemy but someone has to eventually become your friend in Abandon Planet, the latest devious design from The Resistance and Avalon mastermind Don Eskridge.
The premise is simple, but ingenious: stuck on a planet, each player needs to build a rocket and escape before the world is turned into little more than space rubble by an unrelenting meteor storm. The issue is that, unsurprisingly, one person alone isn’t enough to construct and pilot a complex spacefaring machine, so players are forced to escape in pairs. The couples aren’t fixed, mind, so your allegiances will shift depending on whoever has the bits you need – as well as who has double-crossed you in the past.
