Tesseract

Tesseract is a thrilling cooperative game that puts you and your team in a race against time to save the planet from an alien artifact. The central element is a block of 64 dice, representing the Tesseract, which sits on a raised platform at the heart of the game board. As players, we need to work together to manipulate these dice, creating sets and runs to neutralize their destructive power.

The game's mechanics are quite engaging, with a focus on strategic dice manipulation and resource management. You'll be removing cubes from the Tesseract, placing them in your lab, transferring them to others, and adjusting their values. It's a tense experience, as the Tesseract constantly sheds cubes, priming them for potential breaches that threaten to destroy our world. The challenge escalates with every turn, and the pressure to succeed is palpable.

The game's asymmetry adds depth, with each player having unique abilities and research cards that provide an edge. It's a game that truly rewards collaboration and strategic thinking. While challenging, the game is incredibly rewarding, and the feeling of triumph when you successfully contain the Tesseract is unbeatable. We particularly enjoyed the game's solo mode, which is surprisingly engaging and offers a different kind of challenge.

The Tesseract is a standout cooperative game that offers a unique and captivating experience. With its clever mechanics, challenging gameplay, and a healthy dose of tension, it's a game that we highly recommend for anyone looking for a cooperative experience that is both fun and challenging.
