Game night

Played a new game for board game night. Walked into the game store, read a few descriptions and bought. I was lucky!

Level 7 [Escape] is a pretty good game. There are different scenarios to follow, the one we did was a team of people wake up in a tank room where humans are being preserved in liquid while alive. The tanks failed, we woke up and now we escape. As you try and escape you explore which adds room tiles to the "board" and you trigger events which can spawn guards or aliens that you must fight with dice. Your character has fear which attract the aliens, limit certain actions and provide different stats at different levels. You have general stats with additional skills which also changes with adrenalin buffs etc. This game is so detailed I'm not sure I can even go about explaining more without writing a novel.

The instructions for this game are quite long and have a few areas that are not explained clearly at all. Luckily near the end of the first round I was able to find some forums where people posted questions and our second round was completely different after learning that our assumptions on some unexplained rules were completely wrong.
