Description
There is an unusual cabin deep in the woods. It had served as a laboratory and a dwelling for three generations of Lodgers.
But as of late the latest Lodger has been noticing weird changes in familiar surroundings; things are missing, noises and rattle heard. Something odd is coming out of the woods. Come night, it seems like someone's made himself at home in the twilight of rooms, attics, and cellars.
You need to stay awake and sane till dawn.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — Players play one card from their hand to take actions, which are listed in the top-left corner of the card. Actions are optional unless it's a random event.
- Area Control — Players move pawns to control areas on the board. Control is determined by having strictly more pieces (agents and buildings) than any other single player. Neutral pieces like immigrants are considered as another player color, and regions with Grenadier pawns are under martial law.
- Card Drafting — Players take actions by playing cards from their hand, resolving actions in the order printed on the card.
- economic engine — Some buildings provide an ongoing cash income, helping players achieve goals. One objective involves reaching a net worth of 50 pounds, which includes cash on hand and the value of buildings.
- Push Your Luck — The 'trouble' mechanic, where placing a pawn in an area with existing pawns (even your own) adds a trouble marker, could be seen as a push-your-luck element, as trouble markers restrict actions and can be removed via specific actions or events.
- random events — Playing a card with a bird icon triggers a random event. This involves flipping a card from the random event deck, often requiring a d12 roll to determine a region affected by a negative effect, such as destroying buildings or introducing neutral pawns.
- Secret objectives — Each player receives a secret objective card at the start of the game, and the first player to meet their objective wins. Examples include controlling a certain number of areas, having agents in a specific number of regions, or accumulating a certain net worth.
- Set Collection — Players can take a city card when they build a building in a region, which provides a once-per-turn bonus.
- Variable player powers — The game features different personality cards for characters like Professor Moriarty, Monsieur de Cydonia, Fagan, and Sherlock Holmes, each with unique win conditions or game-end triggers.

Quotes (from this video)
- bottom of a lake deep in the jungle the most skilled divers seek to collect the glowing knock toluca beautiful aquatic creatures known for their healing abilities
- the game is played over a series of turns starting with the first player and then going clockwise around and around the table on your turn you'll place one of your pawns on to any one unoccupied space along the outside edge of the pool you'll then choose one of the two straight paths adjacent to that shore and announce a number between 1 and 6
- if there are not enough available matching spaces for all the dice that you collected then any remaining are passed to the next player in turn order they can then pick one of those dice to put into their jar passing the rest to the next player
- now all of the pawns are removed from the board and divided evenly among the players again all remaining knock DeLuca dice are also removed from the board and then the dice are randomly distributed over all the spaces again just as we did during the initial setup
- you'll also find forums for discussion pitchers other videos and lots more over on the game's page at BoardGameGeek and I'll put a link to that in the description below
