This month on Overboard, Polygon's board game let's play show, we're playing THE NIGHT CAGE. No, not the Nic Cage. The NIGHT CAGE. It's a tense, cooperative game where the players are trapped in a maze and trying to escape. It's only possible to win if every player finds a key and gathers together in front of the maze's gate's... and many dangers hide in the darkness. Join Polygon's XTina GG, Susana Polo, Patrick Gill, and Simone de Rochefort as they navigate The Night Cage.

This doesn't get said enough, but really appreciate the closed captions.

"you know that i would lie down and die," simone says. "i would let this hole open up underneath me, and i would not come out." "just like you did in the paris catacombs," susana replies, and NO ONE CONTRADICTS HER. SIMONE DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL US

Tina dealt with so much monsters alone until she found the others at the end; Susana got the chance to fully analyze the monster which gave her the advantage to outsmart them; Pat powered through the entire catacomb and taking advantage of how the catacombs work; and Simone is the one who jumped into a hole, ran, and snagged the key as the lights goes out . I love how so much personality can be pulled out from games like these.

Big fan of the ‘obligatory pat loses all hope moment’

Despite all my rage, I am still just a Pat in a cage...

I recently got this game and noticed a rule they possibly just overlooked, but when staying and discarding a tile, if it’s a monster it’s suppose to replace a tile around them

21:53, I think the group accidentally cheated here. Monster in the same row as Pat here should have had line of sight (wraps around edge of board), and thus attacked and hit Tina when Pat moved.

23:00 I was thinking about this rule the whole time to prevent 1 player from controlling the actions of the other players. Glad to hear that rule variant exists. You can lesson the difficulty of the rule variant a bit and instead of being adjacent to the player, as long as you can see the player, you can communicate with them.

Just want to applaud the team for their incredible restraint re: hole jokes

I think if they weren't in a giant dark ever-changing labyrinth, the Wax Eaters would probably make great pets.

I found this game last year. We had a lot of fun. It’s amazing how tense you can get near the end! And the monsters are terrifying!
