This month we’re talking about I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, with David leading the discussion. I’m interested in discussing the game because it includes components that relate to a wide range of types of games we’ve discussed over recent years: it’s got a strong narrative component, it pairs that narrative with a deckbuilder component, and while I Was a Teenage Exocolonist isn’t a roguelike, its time loop mechanic puts the game in conversation with that genre as well. So I’m curious to see whether other people think that mixture of genres succeeds, and what other characteristics of the game strike us.
