Stranger Things: Upside Down review

Stranger Things: Upside Down is a cooperative board game based on the popular TV show, and it's a fun and engaging experience for fans of the series. The game is surprisingly well-designed, capturing the essence of the show's atmosphere and themes. You take on the roles of the kids from Hawkins and work together to clear stacks of tokens before time runs out.

The game mechanics are easy to learn, and the setup is quick and easy, making it perfect for a casual game night. I found the game to be challenging but rewarding. The press-your-luck mechanic adds a layer of tension and excitement, and the two different seasons of play keep things fresh.

However, some players have reported that the game can be too easy if you focus on certain strategies. I can see how this could be a problem for more experienced gamers, but I personally found the challenge to be just right. I would recommend this game to fans of Stranger Things looking for a fun and thematic board game experience.

The game is well-themed and can get very intense, especially with the Stranger Things soundtrack playing in the background. While it can be a bit difficult to learn at first, it's a great game to play with friends and family.
