The Shining

Your family has been hired as the winter caretakers of the Overlook Hotel. Can you survive four long months locked away together? Within its walls, there are things scarier than cabin fever. Just keep repeating: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

The Shining is a cooperative game for 3-5 players. Each month, you try to build your willpower to overcome the horrific visions you see. If your defenses fail, you may turn on your family members and attack.

Months last for two or three rounds. On a turn, you move to another location in the hotel and perform the room power. You gain willpower tokens and can even help out your other family members. You have to work as a team to live through the winter.

The Shining

The Shining

During the Shining phase, you compare your collected willpower tokens to your Shining cards. If you lack the needed strength, you are temporarily possessed and attack a teammate.

If you’re feeling lucky, you can ride the elevator to get around the Overlook faster. Every time you do, you roll the dice and risk losing a health token.

For a bigger challenge, try to survive an extra month, or play with the Corrupted variant to add a hidden traitor. You need to survive together as a family or lose everything in the frozen mountains of Colorado.

    4 Stars
    Good game if your friends are not dull.
    The Shining is best played with 5 players and the corrupted variant. The game beginning is quite easy, and the difficulty increases as the months progress.The fun factor of gameplay can be dependent on the energy of the group, so if you have dull friends you may want to skip this one.
