I bought this game on a whim and then took it when Miss Thirteen and I went to see our friends in Tassie. It’s become a bit of a tradition for us to take a game to play when we go to visit them.
I really like travelling with games. It gives you something to do in those inevitable times when you have to wait for a plane or a meal or for an event to start. It’s especially useful for keeping small children entertained when travelling (a small packet of coloured pencils and blank notepads are also must haves in the travel kit). It gives everything something to do with their hands and reduces the amount of time spent looking down, staring at a screen.
It’s also a good excuse to buy a new game! And when you have as many games as I seem to have gathered over the years, it’s nice to be able to justify your purchase other than saying, it looks cute, I really must have it! Anyone else have a problem with buying more games than anyone wants to play?
Antidote is set in a lab and you’re a scientist trying to discover an antipode for a toxin that has infected your lab. It involves a bit of elimination and some subterfuge. Kudos to the makers and designers for the science theme. Antidote okay but I think if you’re after a game with deception and elimination, Coup is a lot more repayable.
