The Others
One player runs a Deadly Sin and its monsters, the rest lead a heroic team in a horror-filled city.
Who it's for
You like big-box miniatures games and want an asymmetric story of heroes versus monsters. Best for a group where someone is happy to play the villain.
Not for you if…
You want a short, simple game or a purely cooperative one. It has a lot of rules and takes a good chunk of an evening.
Vibe's take
Tense and cinematic. The heroes feel increasingly overwhelmed while the Sin player gets to be the villain of the story.
About this game
The Others is a miniatures game of cosmic horror in the city of Haven, where the 7 Deadly Sins are invading our world. One player controls the forces of a single Sin, a horde of monsters with their own deck and abilities. Everyone else plays a team of F.A.I.T.H. heroes, who cooperate to survive the Sin's attacks and complete missions. It is one-versus-many on a modular board, with dice combat, area movement, and heroes who each have special powers. The heroes grow stronger through the game, while the Sin keeps pushing the clock. Expect lots of plastic, a long evening, and a strong asymmetric story.
