are there any examples of the game or the questions we can look at before buying?

Well that would kind of take away the fun of "not playtesting this at all" wouldn't it?

Not that I've seen, but they're all fairly random anyway with lots of insta-wins and insta-loses, so they wouldn't do you much good even if you saw them. For instance, playing attack penguins against another player, allowing you to steal one of their cards. Or arbitrarily declaring that you receive 8 points and that having 15 points is a new win condition. Or if several people lose in one turn, declaring that you all lost because of a player you pick as the "noob", so only that one person loses and everyone else is back in. Or playing a dragon against another player, which causes them to lose if they can't get rid of it before the end of their turn. Or forcing everyone to scream in fear about zombies before they draw a card. Or declaring that anyone who says, "I", "me", or "my" loses instantly. The Chaos Pack that comes with it had some funny twists, such as allowing anyone who gained points (points are entirely arbitrary) to point at another player and make them lose instantly, so long as that other player wasn't singing. One low point was that some of the cards were repeated, except that the lose condition was changed. In a game I played yesterday, three of us thought we had an identical card telling us to have each player use their fingers to display a number from 1-5, but we discovered that each of us had a different lose condition written on the card (e.g. anyone picking odd loses, anyone picking even loses, if the total is prime everyone else loses). It means that people who have played it before have no real advantage, but it's still a bit uncreative to have something like that repeated several times (there are similar cards for rock, paper, scissors and other such things, where anyone picking X instantly loses).

Not "required", but I would suggest playing it first. It sort of pieces the story together.

I believe you can. I never heard of that game, but I have games from Amazon that I've bought, and they work perfectly fine. :)

The game plays well in its own. Try a few games just using the core rules. If you find you like it, you can purchase more ships later. A second core set is a good place to start, since it gives you three more ships and extra dice (which are a necessity) for fairly cheap.

It's one for the price of one. Not sure why it's not as detailed... Sorry bud. I'll normally look at other websites too. Guess it's the name of the game.

I am sorry but I really have no idea - I gave it to my daughter for Xmas last year. I think it is a whole game and not an expansion tho. Hopefully there is someone else that can be asked.

There are quite a few rules and it takes about a playthrough in order to understand the game. Fortunately the rules are really well written and it comes with a tutorial rulebook as well as the complete rulebook.

it's one of those games that you can cannonball into. the rulebook is simply written and easy to understand, so once you read over it, you'll be good to go. the hard part is that it's fairly easy to learn, but mastering it is another story entirely :)

No. There is a Christian version of the game cards available for purchase online as well, but the original Ungame itself has a variety of questions that while not specifically Christian, also would not be anti-Christian either (asking questions about one's interests, hopes, dreams, past experiences, feelings, etc.). It's how you answer the questions that makes it interesting and a worthwhile experience.

From memory (I gave it as a gift) there's the decks of cards including the 'characters' (Swiss Gnomes of Zurich, the UFOs, Bemuda Triangle and others) as well as the cards you're trying to get (crazy fish lady, tabloids, CIA etc). There's a detailed A4 Booklet, and a bunch of cardboard money. May have left something out. This game is brilliant though, I totally recommend it. Everyone who we've introduced it to is raving about it!

The answer is yes if you are in the UK. Kind regards, Sally Celestial Games and Books Ltd

Well, Thank-you for your answer, but would really would like to know before I bought it.

And also yes... You can choose between several nice games. Not all of the choices you can make are "50$ games" however there are some that are worth about that.

I would say yes, though your mileage may vary. The core mechanics of the game are deciding what maneuver to perform, using the correct template to make that maneuver, and finally rolling dice to see if you can shoot/evade. Special rules like evade, target lock, and focus modify the die rolls, and could probably be eliminated to simplify the game a bit. I could see younger kids understanding the concepts of firing arcs and movement; though the finer points of tactics and anticipating your opponent's maneuvers might be lost on them. You should definitely avoid the squad-building aspect, where you have X number of points to spend on pilots and upgrades. You should find a FLGS (friendly local gaming store) and ask the owner for a demo, or stop by and visit when they're doing a tournament or just open gaming. I'm sure someone down there will be playing. While you're there, buy something from them for their time. :)

Ignore the "yes." I stupidly clicked the wrong button. I wouldn't recommend it. It's possible, but it's one more thing to juggle. You're already responsible for the rules and story, and while it's possible to play a player character as well, it's tough enough to run when you're new to gaming. If you're still interested in the game, I ran the scenario here fine with two players. A couple of encounters are probably best scaled down, but I believe the book tells you where to. If you have at east two other people, you can run this and learn the rules as you go. If you then decide you also wish to play a character, knock yourself out.

Yes I am pretty sure it does have a tutorial for game mechanics. This is a great game! I finished it in a couple days. :)

Unsure what your asking. to play the game you need to look at he characters
