Board Game Room 25. Ultimate Edition

A detective-psychological game about the struggle for survival in a cubic labyrinth, which is based on the fantastic horror thriller "The Cube" and the films that continue this series.

This is a simple and short board game that offers several modes - "cooperation" (classic cooperative) and "suspicion" (cooperative with secret traitors). The game can be played with family, with friends, and even solo.

The extended edition contains the base game and the first expansion.

Survival game

Players become participants in the reality show "Room 25". They are transferred to a prison complex consisting of 25 rooms. The rooms are equipped with all sorts of traps, including deadly ones. Only one room contains an exit. The participants must find it.

Before the game starts, players receive tablets and character tokens, basic action tokens, and adrenaline. The rooms are laid out face down in a special 5-by-5 ​​square pattern. The character tokens are placed in the central room.

Game play

The number of rounds depends on the game mode and the number of participants. The game lasts from 6 to 10 rounds. Each round consists of three phases:

1. Planning

All players choose 2 action tokens and place them face down on special places on the tablets. You can choose an adrenaline token - this is the third action.

2. Actions

In turn order, participants play the first planned actions first, and then the second. After that, the selected adrenaline tokens are played. The adrenaline token works as a joker, allowing you to perform any main action.

Main actions:

• Look. The player takes the room tile adjacent to his character`s token. He looks at it without showing it to anyone. Only the color of the room can be reported to other players.
• Go. Move your character`s token to the adjacent room. If the room tile is closed, it must be turned face down. Then the room effect is applied.
• Nudge. Move another character`s token (which is in the same room as the player`s token) to the adjacent room. If the room tile is closed, it must be turned face down. Then the room effect is applied.
• Control. Move the row or column with the room where the player`s character token is located - one space in any direction. The pushed room is placed at the beginning of the row.

3. Countdown

Players return the tokens of the used actions and move the token of the first character on the round track.

Types of rooms

• Simple rooms. The central room where the heroes start. The key room, which must be activated in co-op mode. And the rescue room #25.
• Green rooms. Safe. They allow you to peek into closed rooms, swap rooms, move a row, or teleport a character to a room with a tunnel.
• Yellow rooms. Move a character to the central room, prohibit the use of the "Look" action, deprive one of the planned actions, etc.
• Red rooms. Dangerous. Kill characters or become inaccessible until the end of the game.

Rescue. How to win the game?

In cooperative mode, players must activate the key room, find room #25, enter it, and then push it out with the "Control" action. They win if they manage to leave the complex by the end of the game.

In suspicion mode, players receive secret role tokens - prisoners and guards. The prisoners must find room #25, enter it, and push it out with the «Control» action. The guards must prevent the prisoners from leaving the complex. They win if two prisoners die or if the prisoners fail to escape by the end of the game.
