A.D.E.L.E.

A mission to Mars starts to go wrong when the on-board computer becomes self-aware and identifies the crew as potential threats... ADELE is a claustrophobic and stressful one-versus-many board game for up to 5 players. All but one player take on the role of crew members. Each one will choose a character board where a special ability, initial object and stats (spirit and life points) are indicated. The remaining player will control the powerful and vigilant AI of the spaceship: ADELE. On each turn, all crew members have 4 action cubes each, to secretly distribute them among the available actions, using a screen to hide their boards from ADELE. The ADELE player has to guess what actions each crew member plans and try to hinder them as best as possible. Managing a control panel (with its own deck of cards and pool of tokens) with a limited amount of energy per turn, ADELE will create incidents on the ship: originate fires, close floodgates, remove oxygen, shut down computers… there are many options! Will the crew be able to carry out a plan to survive? —description from the publisher
