    Haven't played StS (board game) yet, but Dead Cells is good! And on BGA, so no fuzz with setting up and stuff.

    As in the other games, it's fun how the runner vastly overestimates the knowledge and foresight of the seekers.

    Same here, it's such a nice streaming-co-op game. Having 4 eyes really helps, and there's never any time pressure so you can take breaks whenever.

    There are many rooms with actors, and they are really fun (they can give much more subtle hints). But not that many actors, no. Problem with escape rooms is that customers can do them only once,...

    Normally these kinda things they have minimal staff and they just dump you in a repeatable experience (an excape room is a great example of this, all the material in there is a video, text or something, never actual actors).

    There are many rooms with actors, and they are really fun (they can give much more subtle hints). But not that many actors, no.

    Problem with escape rooms is that customers can do them only once, so by definition you will not get any repeat customers. Looks like a very tough business to me. With this star ship setup you can run multiple scenarios with the same group, so your "marketing cost / group" should be lower than an escape room.

    I expect that's why they usually do the longer games. There's much more waiting and travel time involved if your play area is the whole of Japan, vs. just NYC.

    I had to laugh so much when the Jet Lag people said, I'm paraphrasing: In Japan the trains are always on time which makes the game too predictable. In Italy they are only sometimes delayed, and by small amounts, which is perfect for the game. However, in Germany there are so many delays and outright cancellations, we won't play in Germany again.

    Something like the Buffalo S2: simple, reliable, durable, versatile (and cheap), checks all the boxes for what I want out of a bicycle.
