Not Exactly a Review...

Mar 11, 2014 12:12

Because a review would be more in-depth.

Over the weekend I finally got to break in my copy of "Machine of Death - The Game of Creative Assassination". This is 'based on' the David Malki ! (of "Wondermark" fame) edited collection of short stories about people who know exactly, but not exactly enough, how they will die. The classic example is "Old Age"; which could mean a heart attack at 90, or being hit by an out of control car this afternoon, if the car was being driven by an octagenarian!

Your job is to kill a series of targets using the resources at hand, in the manner that the machine has predicted for them (since the machine is NEVER wrong). Having a victim with the death of "Dead Moose" and resources that included "Something Round", for example, led me to suggest dropping a dead moose on the victim from a hot-air balloon... You get the idea!

Fast-paced, funny, and fun!
