Co-Mix (2014)

About this game

Co-Mix is a storytelling game about comics. (That's a surprise!) Players will have a set of cards in their hands, each one representing a different panel of a comic book. They'll have a bit of time to create a simple plot, mixing the panels they have and creating a full comic page, following the theme of the story. The fun part comes when those crazy stories get actually told...and reviewed! Co-Mix tests players' imagination and creativity, putting them in the shoes of comic writers with a strict schedule. They need to think quickly, get inspiration by the panels in their hand (with hundreds of panels included in the game), craft their story, and expose their creations to each other. Co-Mix is a game for everyone. The inspirational illustrations, with their varied set of characters, actions and settings, guides the players through the creation of short, fun and (more often than not) crazy stories that are sure to cause more than one laugh.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 10.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
