“Strange Journey” is a Victorian-era inspired strategy race game where strangers compete to recover an ancient artifact and return it to the crown. This game goes far beyond “roll and move.” On your turn, you will act to amass assets that will provide offensive or defensive benefits and fulfill goals necessary to win. You can act independently or form alliances; at times the fates will dictate your destiny. You must decide which assets to reveal or hide as you prepare to risk life and limb to enter the toxic realms of an ancient castle. By the end of this “Strange Journey,” you’ll know who’s kind, who’s cruel, who’s forgiving and who’s forgettable. Will you be victorious, or will you be trapped for eternity?
