Ken NewquistPrepping for our first real world game in the #GameRoom since March 2020: #OutdoorSurvival. Thanks @mackensen
Having survived the basic game, we’re kicking things up a notch by adding food and water. #OutdoorSurvival
Next up, we tried the Survival scenario (in which you have to traverse the map from East to West) We faired slightly better, but this time I died of thirst mere hexes from my destination. This game is brutal. #OutdoorSurvival
It was interesting playing a little slice of gaming history, but #OutdoorSurvival is not likely to become my go-to board game.
For a full review of the game, check out Grognardia's retrospective (which discusses its connection to OD&D) http://grognardia.blogspot.com/2022/01/retrospective-outdoor-survival.html
Charles Fulton@nukehavoc Ken's being kind; the gameplay is really bad. Still, I picked it up for $3 at Nob Hill Antiques in Graafschap, Michigan, back in '96, and it was worth it. Go visit Nob Hill if you're in Southwest Michigan: https://www.nobhillagain.com/
@mackensen You're just saying that because our deaths were inevitable no matter what we did.
