Board Game Geek Rating: 5.56, Avg Player Rating: 8.29. For 2 - 4 players, published in 2018. This is the Kickstarter Edition of The Faceless Board Game. Note: paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Ethan is missing. His friends, the 'Elm Street clan', find a piece of paper and a vibrating compass. Reading his diary, they uncover a creepy mystery: a fearsome creature that has kidnapped children for centuries. It has now taken Ethan. By entering the Duskworld, the kids can try to retrieve Ethan's memories and bring him back. The Faceless offers a unique cooperative experience. Move and rotate double - sided miniatures on the board to indirectly move a compass. Each miniature has a magnet, changing the magnetic field and the compass needle's direction. After playing a card, the compass moves, and the needle's direction may change. Controlling these movements is key to success in the Duskworld. Collect all memory fragments on the board to save Ethan and win. But beware of Billygoat, an evil creature that wants to trap you in the Duskworld. The Game Steward is glad to back campaigns and offers The Faceless for online purchase. A percentage of your spend will back new Kickstarter games. Contact us for purchase questions or game advice.

How to play: First, gather 2 to 4 players. Set up the game board with the double - sided miniatures and the compass. The goal is to collect all the memory fragments scattered on the board to save Ethan. You play cards from your hand to move and rotate the miniatures. Since they have magnets inside, this changes the magnetic field and the direction of the compass needle. After playing a card, move the compass in the direction of the needle. Remember, the needle's direction can change after each move. Pay attention to Billygoat, the evil creature. It will try to trap you in the Duskworld. If it catches you, it may be hard to win. Note: This is the Kickstarter Edition, and paid add - ons from the campaign are not included unless otherwise stated. When you're done playing, store the game in a dry place. Keep the miniatures and cards organized to avoid losing any pieces. Have fun exploring the Duskworld and saving Ethan!
