Theseus: The Dark Orbit puts players in the heart of a conflict between five factions trapped on a space station in deep space. Only one can survive...
In Theseus: The Dark Orbit, players move their pawns around the space station and activate the abilities of different rooms. Every move you take changes the movement possibilities of your opponent. On your turn, you need to think about which room you want to reach and (in addition) how to mess your opponent's movement, which leads to great choices and meaningful decisions.
Rooms abilities change during the game as players install trait cards that give rooms new abilities and skills. Players create Theseus during gameplay by placing traps, smart guns, secret passages and many other features. In every game Theseus looks different; in every game it's deadly for you in a new way...
Rules for team play allow players to engage in incredibly emotional 2-vs-2 battles. With perfectly balanced factions, players will be able to fight engaging and deadly battles as a teams. Each faction has a unique deck of cards, and before the game starts, you discard ten cards from the deck. In basic mode you discard at random, while in tournament (master) mode you choose cards and build your deck. With five factions and 110 cards, the game can provide years of unique experiences.XThis one is a bit of a love letter to mechanical design. The highly original and complex mechanics manage to invoke some of the thematic elements of the game's premise, but mostly bury them under positional puzzles. It's really not bad, but I can't help but feel it would've been more fun if the designers had focused less on innovating and more on the theme and content.
Fell in love with this theme and asymmetric gameplay. Consider this a 2-player only game.
I really like this one: nice strategic game with mechanics that are strange at first, but for as 2 player game it really shines. It allows to really well weigh the pros and cons of every move against the possible follow-up actions of the opponent. The rulebook could be a bit clearer though...
