The Sacrifice

Not played it yet, but it looks like an interesting coffee break distraction, and I like the aesthetics..

Its a very simplistic game, not as deep and involved as KoDP but, there seems to be some balancing numbers going on, and I can't quite get my head around the effects of the yearly sacrifice from a house.

4 meters, food, shelter, happiness and secrecy

Each of the five families have different specialisations or are generalists - such as happiness, or food, or shelter. So you have to do the balancing to keep everything ticking over year after year, assigning tasks to each house (forage, build, evangelise) and then you have to pick a house to kill one of the members of at the year/turn end.

It's a game jam effort, and it has a effective art style, just not sure the number balancing and decision making is very interesting, with so few variables. Although as I said, I haven't quite worked it out yet... so it isn't THAT simplistic! :)
