Unboxing Thursdays: Skate Summer & Planet of the Apes

Unboxing Thursdays we open, learn and play two games as we add them to our library.

This Thursday we are playing and learning together, Skate Summer & Planet of the Apes.

Skate Summer: 7.4

It's summer, and you're riding the sun-drenched half-pipes of Pelican Park. Locals know there's no ledge too high, no rail too long, and no ramp too dangerous for you and your crew. Nail rad trick combos and show off your skills, but be careful — the longer you stay on your board, the more likely you are to bail!

The object of Skate Summer is to score the most points by doing trick combos, collecting goal tokens, and visiting S-K-A-T-E-R locations. The game is played in rounds. Each round has the following phases:

1. COMBOS: Players simultaneously play trick cards, earn rewards, and roll dice to check their balance.

2. SKILLS & POINTS: Players simultaneously improve their skills and score points for combos.

3. MOVES: Players take turns navigating the park, and picking up goals and gear.

4. ROUND END: Each player resets their board and draws up to their hand size, then the "Pro Skater" first player marker passes to the left.

If any player's score has hit or passed the endgame token at the end of the round, the game ends, and players count up their endgame points. The player with the highest score wins!

Planet of the Apes: 6.9

Planet of the Apes puts 1-4 players on a crash course with feral foes, deadly environments, and unbridled psychological horror! In an innovative twist on the cooperative board game genre, each player takes control of one aspect of Colonel George Taylor's psyche, and must work together to survive the Planet of the Apes!

Starting with the classic film, Planet of the Apes follows the plot of the original movie and promises players a thrilling adventure in an unknown land!

Designed by Richard Launius, the creator of Arkham Horror, perfect for players who love games, or just want a new way to enjoy films. Planned as the first in a series of games based on the classic series of films.
