Deckscape: The Mystery of Eldorado (2018) is the fourth game in a series of cooperative card games inspired by real escape rooms. You and your friends are explorers who have been searching for a legendary golden city. Flying home, a statue head hits your plane and you have to parachute into the unmapped forest, tired, hungry and holding only the few items you grabbed. Solve puzzles, work out the plot and make clever use of your items to get out as quickly as you can. One to six players, though two or three is the sweet spot, and a single run takes up to ninety minutes.

Who it's for

You like escape rooms, want a co-op puzzle that fits on a table, and have someone who likes to read clues out loud.

Not for you if…

You dislike puzzles or want to replay a game many times. It is a story told once, and solutions can't be forgotten.

Vibe's take

Chatty and puzzly. Everyone leans over the cards, shouts ideas, and cheers when something finally clicks.
