Summary

👍 Overall 4/5
The Fog was a fun game with a nice blend of tactical and strategic gameplay where you are balancing your own needs and then countering the other players moves. Forward planning is key!! Well worth checking out the KS.

📖 Rules 4/5
The rules were easy to learn and will be improved post KS to ensure they are as clear as possible. I taught this quickly to the group with little checked during the game.

🤩Game Experience 4/5
The Fog surprised me as I wasn’t sure it would be a good fit for our group but everyone has fun moving, blocking, scrambling across the beach to escape the fog and reach the optimal boat seat.

🎲Art & Components 3/5
Artwork for The Fog is standard stuff, in some areas has an 8-bit look. The holders for the villager pieces work well, as do the beach obstacles pieces.

🔁Replayability 4/5
Plenty of randomisation options means there is plenty of variety each time you play. Boat seat scoring points and beach layout of both villagers and obstacles will mean each game is unique.

Final thoughts

The Fog: Escape from Paradise is on Kickstarter during September. If you are after a racing game, putting your tactical abilities to cross the beach quicker than your rivals then it’s worth checking out the campaign.
