About the game

In the Tales From the Loop - The Board Game, you take the roles of local kids and play cooperatively to investigate whatever phenomena that threaten the islands (or perhaps just the local video store), and hopefully stop them. Each day starts at school, but as soon as the bell rings you can use whatever time you have before dinner and homework to go exploring! Player actions are integrated, meaning there’s no downtime as you wait for others taking their turn. It also makes cooperating with your fellow players dynamic as you can react to things that happen in a turn and don’t have to plan it all out from the start. Diary cards hold the answer to the mystery so players need to collect these from the start. Scenarios vary in length from 90-120 minutes and you can play solo, by controlling two Kids, all the way up to five players. —description from the publisher
