Publisher Unexpected Games
Players 1-4
Playing Time 30-60 mins
Suggested Age 8 and up

The Initiative — a unique co-operative board game of story, strategy, and code-breaking — lets players take on the role of teenagers in 1994 who have found a mysterious board game called "The Key". Not only will they play The Key, but players will help the teens through a pivotal chapter of their lives by following a series of missions linked together via an interactive comic book.

The game's campaign is broken into a number of chapters, each taking 30-60 minutes to complete and each starting with you reading a page of the comic book. The story advances even if players fail a mission, but winning may provide a reward in the future. Each chapter builds on the knowledge and story from previous chapters, weaving narrative, code-breaking, and mystery into one thrilling game experience.

Enjoyable Family Cooperative Game

A great family game that is well designed to keep all ages engaged in both playing the game and learning how to play it well. It does a great job balancing careful strategic play and just going for things.

Everything about this game design and framing narrative feels purposeful as small call backs become useful as the game/story progresses. The puzzles are interesting enough to keep the adults occupied but simple enough for kids 8+ to contribute to the solve.

Overall great co-operative game.
