Played at Stephan's place. KSIPAM. Kevin brings Exit: The Game, a recent nominee for Spiel des Jahres. It is an Escape Room type of game, to be played only once. When you solve a puzzle, it is rather gratifying, but it can be frustrating to get there. We were sometimes sloppy in our execution, perhaps stressed by the goal of completing the game as quickly as possible (which we did not, clocking in at 2 h and 15 min). It would be more enjoyable to just be zen about it and enjoy the ride, rather than try to get a good score, time-wise. Also, 6 players is too large a number: too many people have to read the clues upside down, there's only one book to go around, you don't know what's going on at the other end of the table, etc. I reckon 3 players would be best. Finally, that box inset puzzle was deviously tricky.

Alan left early and missed the most climactic part of the game; both coolest puzzles we discovered in the last 20 minutes of the game probably.

I agree with Stephan, I'd enjoy the game without the time pressure, even just by myself.
