Description
Trapped in a prison in which each room has four doors but apparently no exit, the players must try to find Room 25, the supposed exit to this nightmare. But some amongst them might be guardians of the prison, waiting for the right moment to strike. In the cooperative game Room 25, not everyone wants to escape from imprisonment – but who is the traitor? Each turn, the player moves are preprogrammed, requiring discussion, negotiation – and possibly betrayal.
Room 25 includes five different playing modes, from full cooperation to a solitaire game.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is just my opinion, right? Yours may differ from mine, and if it does, that's great.
- It's a nice little abstract game for two players um trying to like again get like uh like the largest or smallest difference um between your own tableau and the one in the middle um that is shared.
- Really really nice tableau builder.
- I think I personally for my collection would put it in B, but um that wouldn't be quite fair because I need to like evaluate the game as it is.
- Um, but I find it has like a loads of like little small parts um that are just not optimal.
- It's one of my most favorite smallbox games, not just of last year, but ever.
- Come on. Please, please release the physical version. I'm begging you, man.
- I would say like the components are amazing. You actually build like up 3D terrain which is pretty amazing.
- But it's still not it's not one of my most favorite dungeon crawlers because I just think like these scenarios are like a little bit too long almost.
- But I think Unmatched is like way superior.
- That may change because I'm playing a lot of dungeon crawlers at the moment, but currently it is definitely S my my favorite one.
- So, you see, I this was a strong month. I didn't play a whole lot of games, but I played a lot of really good games.
- Let me know in the comments which were the best and worst games you played last month.
- Especially want to give a shout out to my generous patrons. The big thanks go out to Thagon for supporting me at the highest tier.

Quotes (from this video)
- Here we've also got the good old games Doom 1 Doom 2.
- Yeah, so you know, it's Doom.
- It works.
- And while we're talking about it, same idea here with Heretic and Hexen.
- this is just Doom fantasy.
- And then here we have System Shock 2.
- But, it's it's a remaster of System Shock 2, so it's a little bit updated.
- But it runs good just like basically right out of the box there.
- And this is last one this Pico-8.
- So, what Pico-8 is, it's almost like it's own little console.
- But then, you get like hundreds and hundreds of games for free.
- these little like Gameboy S games.
- This top screen runs at 120 Hz.
- So, if I'm just playing like, you know, retro games or something, I don't worry about it.
- And if I'm especially if I'm playing the dual screen games here, then if you set this to 120, this bottom screen is like a little bit weird cuz the screen technically can't go to 120, but it kind of fakes it out.

Click to watch at 1:03 · YouTube ↗
Overall sentiment (raw)
positive
Pros
- Easy-to-follow battle system using dice
- Enjoyable tension from wolf threat and council catch-up
- Deep engine-like resource interactions with region-specific goods
- Multiple paths to victory with different scoring opportunities
- Good player interaction without heavy direct conflict
- Scales well from 2 to 4 players
Cons
- Prototype nature means rules and balance may change in production
- Council and wolf mechanics can swing leads and slow pace for some players
- Some players may find the number of options overwhelming
- End-game timing requires careful planning to avoid a runaway leader
Thematic elements
- Kingdom-building with exploration, resource management, and conflict (wolf threats)
- A land of forests, mountains, countryside farms, and a bustling town at the center
- Mythic, light fantasy with variable goals
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area control and conflict — Move into unoccupied regions or attack to take regions from opponents; battles resolved with dice.
- Building and goods crafting — Construct cottages and gates; craft goods (barrels, gems, bread) to gain points and resources.
- Council catch-up mechanic — Two players can meet in the council to reduce the leader's score; council tokens prevent repeated targeting.
- Dice-based combat — Attack dice (black) vs defense dice (white); highest roll wins; ties go to the defender; reroll by spending a tool resource.
- End-game trigger and relic — Game ends when a player reaches 14 VP; final round occurs; winner taps the Relic of Roomian three times.
- Event cards and wolf threat — Event cards trigger the wolf that can force retreats and resource loss, creating strategic tension.
- Market trading and selling — Sell goods for VP and convert goods to resources via the market; market tile shifts determine what can be sold.
- Quests and special cards — Acquire quest cards for points and special one-time effects via quest and market cards.
- Resource gathering by region — Each region provides a different resource (wood in the woodlands, stone in the mountains, grain in the countryside, tools and council in town).

Quotes (from this video)
- the battle system is so easy. You're literally just rolling dice and whoever has the highest roll wins.
- Roomian, a land of forest, mountains, countryside farms, and a bustling town at the center of it all.
- Two players can meet in the council to reduce the leader score by two victory points.
- It's a clever catch-up mechanism, but once you've been targeted by the council, you get a council token and can't be targeted again.
- Room is perfect for players who love strategic Euro style gameplay with a touch of interaction and adventure.
- Glory and victory await.
- the winner then taps the relic of Roomian three times.
