Description

Burke's Gambit is a thrilling space adventure where 4 to 8 players take on the roles of a freighter crew on a mission to find powerful alien technology. However, things take a turn when a parasitic organism infects one of the crew members, and sabotage ensues, putting the entire ship on a collision course with Earth. With hidden affiliations and a hidden infected player, the crew must work together to identify the infected member and prevent a catastrophic outcome. As players take turns rolling a die, they can damage or heal each other, reveal affiliations, or scan diagnostic cards. But beware, rolling an engine power up hastens the ship's arrival to Earth, where a vote will determine who gets ejected from the airlock. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 20 minutes, Burke's Gambit is a fast-paced and exciting game of bluffing, deduction, and negotiation that's perfect for a fun and unpredictable gaming experience.
