  • Interesting Game
I LOVED the Choose Your Own Adventure books growing up, had high hopes for this game. It was confusing to learn how to play and overall not what I was hoping for. Was neat to "read" the stories again and choose the best path, just not exactly what I thought it would be.

  • Game is fun but could be better
The game cards aren’t always consistent when you move around in the game. It is fun & worth playing though.

  • Nice nostalgia but not a great solo experience
If you are solo, just reading the books may be a better experience. I can see how this would be fun with multiple players due to discussing your next moves. Solo, though, the charm of books - choosing your own adventure - gets lost in all the fiddly bits they added to make the board game. I’m extremely risk averse, and a fantastically poor dice roller, and so the danger meter mechanics basically rendered me paralyzed as far as taking optional risks. After the first ten minutes, I NEVER took an optional risk because the odds and penalties were so bad. And so the game wound up being mostly a slog. I would have had a lot more freedom to explore options in the book version. I also thought the psychic clue cards were not worth the effort worrying about collecting, so all of my caution with the danger meter was a waste anyway. Having said all of that, I thought the production level was fine, and I definitely recommend it for Gen Xers who grew up on these books. If you like it, there’s more - and if you don’t like it, at least you know from your own experience. This game is as replayable as the books are rereadable. ... show more

  • This was great fun!
I of course loved CYOAB (Choose your own Adventure Books) as a kid so this revival of the concept looked fun. The gameplay was easy and quick to learn in this game. The gameplay can be fast or last a couple of hours if you want. It is played a chapter at a time with a specific goal in mind to achieve a the end of each one. If you die, instead of like in the books, you take a small penalty, and then the game directs you back to the decision point(s) to try again. Its a great concept that can probably be repeated with all the CYOAB books yet we purchased the other available title in this series and that one seems to follow a different concept for its gameplay (I do hope its as fun). My 8-year-old had fun and so did my wife and I. Maybe some of the elements aren't for small children but my kid did fine. The footprint of the game is small requiring only minimal space for gameplay when compared to the average board game. Ironically, my only complaint is that it is A LOT of reading as it's just like reading the chapter books but this is forgivable. I would buy and am looking forward to buying many more titles as they become available. ... show more

  • Fun but reset takes some work
If you have good memories of CYOA books, you'll like this game. You can play it solo - I played with friends and we had a great time. Only real complaints I have about the game are - firstly, as others have said, its only got so much replayability. After two or three play throughs if you make sure to take alternate paths, you'll have gone through almost all the cards. Second, running the game is a little complex - not terrible, but not exactly "Cards Against Humanity" simple -which isn't terrible except there is no easy way to reset it for another playthrough. It'd be better if there was an easier way to reset the adventure and clue cards; I ended up just reseting the previous chapter while we played the next one. Even with those issues, it was less than a cost of a movie ticket and made for a more enjoyable evening. ... show more

  • Fun but simple
Ok, so I played this game over a few weeks because it is chapter based. Basically the game has five chapters each with a mission card and you work towards the goal. It took about 45 minutes to finish a chapter. The main problem with the game is is two fold. 1. Since the game is based on the old kid book, the choices you are left to make do not always have any true logical reasoning, you basically take a guess and follow a course, I still had fun and enjoyed it. 2. Often ties I would finish a chapter and a whole stack of story cards and clue cards would be left and I kept wondering how could we get more clues. The game has about five different possible endings, in my game I saved myself but no one else. There were clue cards, that had I gotten in previous chapters would have gave me a different ending. I guess if I wait a few weeks I could replay the game and try a few different things, so yes there is a replay ability but maybe not as challenging the second time. Overall i read tons of these books as a kid and Time Machine books and I still had fun and I am considering buying the second game as well. I have since purchased a few Escape games from the company Escape and I am looking forward to it. For refrence I love RPG and I am a big fan of Settlers of Catan and many other games ... show more

  • A fun family night adventure.
We had a blast going through this game! We have played it with friends & with our kids. If you explore all of the options in each chapter, the replayability is a little tricky because you know the outcomes, so we opted to let our friends make all of the choices, and we still had a blast! This one definitely plays out like an old school cyoa book. Our kids are teenagers and they thoroughly enjoyed playing through the game with us. Even if you have played through the whole thing, introducing it to others is still really fun! ... show more

  • Solo and co-op.
It's not really a win/lose game, but more like a unique way to read the original CYOA book published in 1982. You're reading a book on playing cards, so if you play co-op, you'll take turns reading out loud. It might make a good drinking game with so many gruesome deaths within. I got it for $8, so no regrets. ... show more
