In strange and remote regions of space, death may not be the worst end…
A group of astronauts on a rescue mission lands on a desolate planet to learn the fate of a long-lost scientific vessel. With little over a day to investigate what happened, they discover that the planet itself and the encountered survivors hide horrible secrets that might endanger humanity.
The Shadow Planet: The Board Game is a sci-fi game of alien horror, based on a beautifully illustrated, Italian graphic novel by Blasteroid Brothers and designed by Giacomo and Gianluca Santopietro, the authors responsible for Letters from Whitechapel.
It perfectly blends the idea of hidden identities with a completely revolutionary approach to the deck-building genre, thus offering you a unique gaming experience and a chance to use a completely different strategy every time to play.
Draw your secret goal and use six different characters to achieve it.
Deceive your rivals and control the flow of the game through cunning management of different decks. Move around various locations on the planet to gain powerful cards or use special abilities, but remember that they will also benefit your opponents, who can acquire the very same deck you’re trying to modify.
Play over the table, look for allies, and identify the alien threat before it proves too powerful… unless you’re the creature trying to leave the planet!
Save humanity… or save yourself.

4/5
The Shadow Planet est un jeu rafraichissant qui apporte pas mal de nouvelles mécaniques comme le deckbuilding commun et sans mélange, le tout mêlé à un jeu de rôle caché savoureux. Et comme dans les autres jeux du genre, on va s’amuser à tenter de deviner le rôle de chacun ce qui est succulent. Il est dommage que la fin du jeu soit si compliquée et apporte autant d’incertitude ce qui mène à un manque de contrôle flagrant. Enfin, le thème est cohérent et bien présent dans le jeu de même que l’interaction. The Shadow Planet est un jeu chaotique mais très amusant et novateur même si j’ai pas trop envie de me retrouver sur cette planète hostile
