About the game
What you do in a play session
One player takes on the role of the powerful and paranoid AI, ADELE, while the other 1 to 4 players are the crew trying to survive. Each crew member has a board with unique abilities, initial objectives, and their precious life and spirit points. The big trick is that each round, the crew members secretly distribute their 4 action cubes behind a screen, trying to deceive ADELE about their plans.
The AI, in turn, has a control panel with limited energy to spend on sabotage. It can start fires, cut off oxygen, close hatches, shut down systems – hell on Earth (or rather, in space!). ADELE needs to be clever to guess the crew's actions and hinder them as much as possible.
Can the crew work together, manage their resources, and complete their escape plan before the AI eliminates them? With mechanics blending action points, area movement, hand management, and dice rolling, A.D.E.L.E. offers an immersive and stressful experience, perfect for those who enjoy a good asymmetric challenge with a sci-fi horror theme. It's a game that demands communication (among the crew) and deduction (for the AI), promising plenty of tension and twists.
