Description

The digital component of the social-interaction board game NOSEDIVE, which allows players to select Experiences for each other that can raise or lower their Social Score.

NOSEDIVE is a hybrid board game where players collect physical Lifestyle cards as they play and, at the same time, use the app to maintain their Social Score. At the end of the game, players only count Lifestyle cards that their Social Score will support.

Players use the NOSEDIVE component app during the game to give each other various types of Experiences. They then rate those experiences within the app, and those rating either raise or lower the giver’s Social Score. The NOSEDIVE app also tracks each player’s Social Score throughout the game, which directly affects the scoring of the physical Lifestyle cards at the end of the game.

Could Be Good But Is Far Too Overcomplicated

My family and I were really excited to play this as fans of the black mirror series. Immediately, we found it hard to understand the instructions & became pretty frustrated with how complicated the game seemed to be. The “lifestyle phase” was confusing. Even once we’d figured it out mostly, it’s quite boring. The “experience” phase was our favorite part! You get to show how well you know your friends by pitching them experiences you think they’ll like from a limited selection. They then anonymously judge the best and worst. We laughed and had a lot of fun during these phases. Unfortunately, the confusion toward how to actually play to win sort of ruined the fun.

I think this idea has so much potential! The hybrid between app and board game kind of seems unnecessary, but it’s not the worst part of the game. I just think it needs to be re-evaluated a bit.

My family and I ended up having a bit of fun, but I honestly don’t think I’d recommend it.

Overly complicated

This game is over complicated. The app should walk you through the game as you go, but instead you’re left to decipher the complicated instructions. The concept of the game is good, but we were so confused trying to figure out how to play it. For a game focused on social media and technology, it depends too much on a poorly made game board and written instructions. Would not recommend.

Review of the app: not the game

First off, the app works fine. It’s sort of cumbersome that I have to pass a phone around. I’d much prefer everyone download their own version of the app and answer questions by themselves. Maybe passing the phone could be optional. It was uncomfortable playing with people who I didn’t necessarily want to have control of my phone while it’s unlocked and open.

The game isn’t all that complicated. Whoever gets the most stars is the winner, whether the stars are high or low. Your social points (which is the only thing that matters for this app) just determine whether you get a leg up or down in the game. You could technically play this game without the app. Hope this helps anyone confused.
