Description
Planet of the Apes is a cooperative board game that drops 1 to 4 players into a thrilling adventure on a mysterious planet. Designed by Richard Launius, the game follows the plot of the classic film and challenges players to work together to survive the dangers that lurk on the planet. Each player takes control of a different aspect of Colonel George Taylor's psyche, adding a unique twist to the cooperative gameplay. As players navigate the unknown land, they'll encounter feral foes, deadly environments, and psychological horror, all while trying to stay alive. With a playtime of 60 to 90 minutes, the game is long enough to be engaging but short enough to be accessible to players familiar with board games. The game's normal complexity and mix of mechanics, including dice rolling, set collection, and storytelling, make it a great fit for fans of science fiction and the Planet of the Apes franchise.
