Aether Captains: The Search

Print out Link

In my playthrough of The Search with my roommate we found ourselves having an interesting time. The gameplay is a somewhat similar concept to cops and robbers or chess, one person plays as the Criminal and the other the Police Force. The game pieces are minimal, something I personally liked, and included 2 decks of cards, one for each team, and movement pieces. Gameplay for The Search can be very fast pace, our longest game being about 25 minutes, allowing for a quick game or multiple rounds. The goal of the game is different for either role. The Criminal must visit all three crime scenes or harm the 4 officers and the The Police have to capture the Criminal by barricading and trapping them. 

Likes: Not an overwhelming amount of game pieces, simple instructions, nice graphic style

Dislikes: Can be boring if you aren't playing against someone challenging, low res map graphics, system can be unbalanced at times

"Due to overpopulation and unknown disease, humans have become scarce and have reverted to living in small exclusive communities. They choose to live in remote locations such as woodlands where they build their minimalist homes suspended in the trees to avoid conflict with rivaling groups."
