Table feel

The Shining has a high level of direct confrontation and strategic depth, with frequent interaction between players. However, it does not emphasize cooperation as much.

Replay value

The Shining offers a high level of variability, strategic depth, and scalability, making it a highly replayable game. The presence of expansions and moderate ease of learning further enhance its replay value.

Luck profile

The Shining has a moderate level of luck involved in the game. Random elements such as dice rolls and card draws have a minimal impact on the game outcome. Players have substantial ability to mitigate randomness through strategic decisions and planning. The game outcome is primarily determined by player strategy and decisions, with luck playing a minor role.

Overview

All work and no play... You've traveled into the heart of the Rocky Mountains to take charge of the Overlook Hotel while it is closed for the winter — except you aren't alone. The Hotel's bloody history has made some of its past guests a permanent addition to the building, and with them come terrifying visions that begin to corrupt your mind. Snowed in, you desperately explore the rooms of the Hotel, attempting to gain enough willpower to withstand the evil influence around you. Worse still, one of you has already succumbed to the terrible forces of the Hotel and secretly acts to keep you here forever and ever... The Shining is a suspenseful game of co-operation, deception, and terror!
