Description Description

In Overseers, you will take on the role of a group of powerful Overseers of humanity with different powers and the great responsibility of maintaining the balance between the vices and virtues of humanity. At the beginning of the game, you will receive 6 cards representing both good and bad qualities of humans, each with its score and conditions for earning points. Using a simple drafting mechanism, one at a time, you will choose 5 cards to form your hand to achieve the highest possible points. Once each player has formed their hand, each will choose 3 cards to place face up in front of themselves while the other 2 remain hidden. Based on the revealed cards and what the various players may have kept hidden, you will try to guess who among you has the most powerful combination of cards. After discussing together, you will start a secret vote in which one of you will be chosen as the most powerful player. The nominated player will have the chance to admit their superiority or deny it. In the first case, the player discards 2 cards of their choice from the combination, while in the second, verification proceeds. If the accused actually has the strongest combination, they must discard their 2 most powerful cards; otherwise, they can draw 1 additional card and add it to their combination. Regardless of the outcome of the accusation, players reveal their combinations and earn the corresponding victory points, keeping them secret. The player who has earned the most victory points after 3 rounds will be elected the best Overseer!

Bought this game for the art despite the store owner being wishy washy on it. It takes a few play throughs to get the hang of, which will likely turn people off. However once you get the hang of it this game its a ton of fun, and has become one of my favorites in the collection. It’s a game that really benefits from being played several times in a row by people who understand the mechanics. Once you get going it’s very Poker/Blackjack like. It’s a great fast paced game with a bit of a learning curve but once you get into it, it’s great.

I really enjoy this game. You need to have 4+ people imo, but if you enjoy a little bit of debate in your game it's damn fun. The learning curve is a little steep but after 2 hands I feel everyone understands exactly how the game works. There's some advanced ideas that come out the more you play it. It certainly has a texas hold 'em vibe of bluffing.

AN *EXCELLENT* drafting/bluffing/negotiation game! It's a lot of fun to try and suss out players' relative power and accuse them. I like how the resolution is multi-faceted - the round is far from over once someone is accused. It's fun to play and usually provides a lot of interesting choices.

Played (and purchased) at Modena Play! 2017. It was love at first sight... high-paced bluffing game with cunning ruleset and wonderful artwork. If you love drafting / point-scoring / bluffing games with a strong thematic set you should really give it a try! Probably the best in its own genre. Highly recommended.

Beautifully designed with gorgeous artwork, quick to play and to pick up. Allows for reasonably complex tactical play and interesting emerging dynamics between players, while rewarding flexibility. All of my friends are happy and keen to play this game, which is rare for us.
