@mattthr Hey Matt! Excellent question! There is no mechanic that directly inhibits a “boss” player from calling the shots, but in all of our playtesting, we haven’t seen it happen all that much. We think this is for two reasons... (1/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...All of the information to keep track of, and the fact that each player holds onto their own cards really make it difficult for one person to always know the best thing to do!... (11/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...Of course, the “boss” player is the thorn in the side of all co-op games, but the reason we think we haven’t seen them be a huge problem in Adrift, is because the game’s theme and message of surviving together... (10/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...a little trouble being amicable, the other players don’t have to do what the “boss” player says, and can withhold their cards until their voice has been heard (which we have seen happen)... (9/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...Second, A “boss” player can certainly try to tell everyone what to do, but at the end of the day, each sailor is responsible for physically putting their Action Card on the boat mat. If a “boss” player is having...(8/11)

@mattthr ...that there are almost always multiple solid choices to be made! When players debate and come to decisions they are weighing their options, and so there’s often times not just one singular strategy for a “boss” player to pick up on... (7/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...Perhaps, but Santiago needs someone to heal him! ...and you still need to take into account balancing the boat! The game puts enough limitations on you, through the sea, balancing the boat, and the distribution of Action Cards... (6/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ... because you never know what the sea is going to throw at you! So, there’s always room for players to strategize what to do. Do you play it safe and navigate this round because your next card could be a storm?... (5/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr Additionally, there’s quite a bit of planning for the future involved, as well... (4/11)

[Adrift @AdriftGame]

@mattthr ...(their health, and the weight and fish cost of each of their Action Cards) and the boat’s state too (how much fish and water the boat has left, and how close it is to sinking)... (3/11)
