Unboxing Thursdays: Wormholes & Rear Window

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

This Thursday we are playing and learning together Wormholes & Rear Window.

Wormholes: 7.1

In a peaceful galaxy, a new technology has been invented: wormholes. They allow ships to warp from one point to another, which opens up countless possibilities for commerce and travel. As the captain of a passenger spaceship newly equipped with a wormhole fabricator, you can make some serious space bucks by building a robust network of wormholes. Link the farthest reaches of space while delivering passengers to become the most successful captain in this golden age of spacefaring. It’s time to bend space and go fast.

In Wormholes, players collect passengers from planets, each of whom has specific destinations they aim to reach. However, this pick-up-and-deliver process can be quite different once you establish wormholes between different points of the galaxy — and like any good business, your service can be used by other players...at the cost of a few points.

Rear Window: 7.6

Experience Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece film Rear Window in a game of deduction and suspense. Carefully observe strange clues and ominous patterns in the things going on in the apartments across the way. There are parties, knives, a saw, bickering, laughing, music...and a mysterious trunk. Do you detect a murder? Or is the secret, private world of the neighbors planting frightening ideas in your mind?

In Rear Window, one player takes the role of director Alfred Hitchcock — the "Master of Suspense" — and communicates via building windows clues and signs for the other players without ever uttering a word, ideally giving them enough to go on that they can figure out who the murderer is — or whether a murder even took place.

If a murderer is out there, you need to nail down all eight attributes of that person by the end of four rounds without them catching on to what you see and know.

Join us Thursday, January 12th at 6:00 pm for our Unboxing Thursday Event. See ya soon!
