Title: Fun, Quirky Resource Management Game
Review: This came up in my Amazon recommendations and, reading the description, I decided to give it a try as a present for my 15 year old son who likes to watch “bigfoot” documentaries and movies with me.I had no idea what the game would actually be like and fully expected it to be at best a fun but overly simplistic game in the vein of Horrorfied (sorry to the Horrorfied fans out there).To my surprise, and I think to the surprise of my son who has grown up playing a LOT of board games with his dad, this game was much more detailed than expected and likewise more fun too!This game reminds me of The Lords of Waterdeep game a bit but with a creepy, crypto-conspiracy theory vibe instead of high fantasy. One must gather resources to meet mission goals and “capture” creatures to best maximize a chosen role that is randomly selected at the start of the game (tabloid reporter, detective, etc.). This mechanic reminds me the most of Waterdeep in which each player selects a “Lord” at the start of play. This “Lord” has secret goals that provide bonus victory points at the end of the game.The Real Truth is quite similar but instead of “Lords” you have several crypto-related personalities whose secret agendas provide victory points as well.The game has an interesting mechanic for movement around the globe (cards; no dice) and an alignment mechanic that provides an element of strategy. Overall, a very enjoyable game and a nice surprise. We’ve already played this game several times and I foresee that it will be a regular staple in our board game rotation over the years. I recommend this for anyone that has played The Lords of Waterdeep and has at least a passing interest in anything crypto-related.

Title: Fun game
Review: Super fun to play! A little tricky to figure out the rules at first but once we did it was fun. Replayability is something I look for and this has it. Quality is good, average board game. Definitely worth a buy!

Title: Fun game! Shipping packing was faulty, though
Review: The game itself and fun and creative. We have been enjoying it. However, I did have to request a replacement because when it was shipped, it was shipped in a bag instead of a box. IDK if the seller or Amazon is responsible for that. But that part was inconvenient. The first one came completely damaged, with a gaping hole in the bag and the game box. Then when they sent a replacement, it was in a bag again…corners of the game box were worn, but otherwise was ok.

Title: Please make expansions!!!
Review: Absolutely worth the money and my friends caught on quickly and enjoyed the gameplay. I love the Last Podcast on the Left so I fully support the boys. If they make an expansion with more secret identities and/or creature cards I would throw my money at them!

Title: It’s a game
Review: The game takes a bit more table space than I’d prefer, and the instruction manual leaves a LOT to be desired. (I ended up writing my own manual based on the included book, the YouTube How To, and my initial plays session) and I ended up removing the “organizer” that came in the box (the spots for the cryptid/monsters were too tight to fit them nicely and everything went AWOL after transporting it once so I just put everything in snack zip-locks.The decks came so vacuum-sealed that I had to “crack” the decks apart to separate the cards, which resulted in damaging the surfaces of the cards. The game overall wasn’t that expensive, so it didn’t “hurt” but it was annoying that the game came with the cards almost glued together.If you can live with damaged decks and missing instructions, the main draw of the game is the humor of the missions and creatures (there are QR codes on some cards that link you to the podcast episodes of that topic)But I feel like they could have made a mode in-depth manual/guide to answer some questions we had and had to make house rules for during our first play session.

Review: Sadly this is not a review of the game, as we haven’t played it. I ordered this as a present for my wife who is a big fan of the podcast, It arrived today, and the only way I can describe it is, the box is in the same condition as an old puzzle you might find in second hand shop, even the sticky seals have hair on them. The board corners are all smashed, the cards were loose, creased and folded, and it looks like some pieces are missing. Very disappointed as now I won’t be able to give it to her on the day. I have tried ordering it again. Let hope I can review the actual game next time.

Review: Ok so heads up we are not the most successful family at board games! We have a certain amount of neuro diversity among us all so finding a game that doesn’t cause fractured nerves, boredom, explosive tantrums, tears or all of the above can be a search for a holy grail! One time never to be repeated during lockdown we tried Risk… That went very badly!So a new game and my hunt for a game we can play together continues! Have I found one? The answer is ‘possibly’. The worst part was getting past the instructions. It took us 90minutes to set up and figure out how to play. We tried to watch the you tube video but found it to stimulating (very fast talking, American, gibberish jokes mixed up making it confusing, we gave up with the video and went back to plodding through the booklet halfway through. ADHD meant that my son and I switched off at various intervals during the 90 minutes and by the end we were ready to give up but persist we did, and I’m glad we did!The instructions seem really complicated but actually once you get playing it’s quite simple to master and a fun game. We took out two of the event cards as suggested to make the game shorter and it took us (family of 4 on our first game) about 75 minutes to play the game. I think now we have learnt the game we will be able to convince my son, who wasn’t happy about losing the entire evening to the game, to play again, as it was fun , easy to get the hang of and unique,The cards were all stuck together but they peeled apart no problem for us and I thought everything was pretty good quality. £30 is an average board game price and it includes lots of pieces and playability so I think this is reasonable.

Review: The game wasn’t really sealed at all, there were tabs on each side, but all were opened already. The outside of the box was scuffed, marked, and damaged, and there were missing pieces.
