Table feel

Fiasko has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth in confrontation. Players need to frequently pay attention to and react to each other's strategies and turns. However, there is not much emphasis on cooperation in the game.

Replay value

Fiasko offers a high level of variability with its gameboard, expansions, and strategic depth. The player interaction score is average, and the game scales well with different player counts. It is moderately easy to learn, providing a good balance between accessibility and depth. Overall, Fiasko has a strong replayability score of 7.925 out of 10.

Luck profile

Fiasko has a moderate influence of luck. Random elements like dice rolls and card draws have a notable but not exclusive impact on the game outcome. Players have some ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is a balanced mix of luck and strategy.

Overview

A small card game featuring a supermarket theme and a Can't Stop-like element to gameplay. Each turn, players may either draw a card or score their hand and begin collecting groceries anew. Hands are scored by multiplying the values of one type of grocery (milk, canned corn, etc. - the player decides which type will score) by the total number of cards in a players hand. The risk: If a player draws one of the 6 Fiasko cards, all cards in his hand are forfeit (apparently the grocery display had grown too tall and toppled over, based on the graphics). The deck also contains two Catastrophe cards, which cause all but the player who draws them to discard their hands. Players may score each type of grocery only once per game. The game ends when one player has scored all five types of merchandise. Player with the most points wins.
