Pacifist Raid

Description

Pacifist Raid is an asymmetric psychological chase game for 3 to 4 players. One player takes on the role of a fleeing "Pacifist Demon King," while the others form a team of Heroes dedicated to hunting him down. The game unfolds over a series of rounds where all players take their turns simultaneously. In each round, players secretly program a sequence of three actions using cards. These actions are then revealed and resolved sequentially. Success depends heavily on reading your opponents; the Hero team must coordinate their movements and communicate effectively to trap the agile Demon King, while the Demon King must outwit them to survive. The victory conditions are distinct for each side. The Heroes win by dealing enough damage to break through all three phases of the raid and ultimately defeating the Demon King. Conversely, the Demon King wins immediately if they survive the time limit (7 rounds) of just a single phase. It is a tense battle of endurance versus aggression. —description from the designer
