Description
This week, we look at a board game based on the classic Choose Your Own Adventure series originally published by Bantam. In these classic game books, you are the hero of the story and as you read through, you get to make choices that very much affect how the story continues. This was managed with a branching story in which you would read the book out of order.
This game tries to recreate that experience using one of the classic books, number 15 in the series. It does a great job of making you feel like you are reading an old CYOA book but using cards instead of a book.
