About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a mind-bending trip! In Unsettled: Kaelyfos, you and your crew land inside the colossal head of an ancient, sleeping being. The goal? Unravel the lost memories of this cosmic giant to find your way back home. But beware, the place is a feast for bizarre creatures, and the environment itself might throw you into altered mental states with its strange secretions.

Kaelyfos is the sixth planetary expansion for Unsettled, bringing a cooperative challenge where collaboration is key to survival. You'll explore surreal landscapes, like giant eyeballs and colossal teeth, while dodging biological hazards and trying to access the secrets held within the being's mind. Worker placement mechanics come into play as you manage resources and make critical decisions, and dice rolling adds that touch of unpredictability that can save you or complicate things.

With a modular board and variable setup, each game of Kaelyfos promises a new and challenging experience. The need for adaptation and group strategy is constant, as you must deal with the unique dangers of this bizarre planet while collecting the clues needed to escape. It's a race against time and against alien biology itself. If you enjoy science fiction with a touch of horror and love a good cooperative game that tests your teamwork skills, Kaelyfos is an addition your Unsettled collection can't miss.
