Nosedive™ – The boardgame

Twin Sails Interactive

About this game

The digital component of the social-interaction board game NOSEDIVE, which allows players to select Experiences for each other that can raise or lower their Social Score.

NOSEDIVE is a hybrid board game where players collect physical Lifestyle cards as they play and, at the same time, use the app to maintain their Social Score. At the end of the game, players only count Lifestyle cards that their Social Score will support.

Players use the NOSEDIVE component app during the game to give each other various types of Experiences. They then rate those experiences within the app, and those rating either raise or lower the giver’s Social Score. The NOSEDIVE app also tracks each player’s Social Score throughout the game, which directly affects the scoring of the physical Lifestyle cards at the end of the game.

Ratings and reviews

The app is easy to use but, as others said, it doesn't save any of your data. Luckily for us, we accidentally clicked out of it after reading our final scores and we remembered the order. But it would've been very frustrating if that happened at any other point. Makes me wonder at the point of even having a load game button? Additionally, if you don't have the game yet, reconsider. The instructions are extremely unclear. Everyome was dying to quit. The phone portion makes the game drag.

It's a fun idea and the concept is good, but the game drags really bad because of the app. This game would way better if everyone could be linked and make their choices from their own phone. Everyone taking turns at the same time would not only make it much faster and more engaging, but also feel more thematic too the episode as well. I got the game on clearance for $5... So it is what it is. If I paid full price I would be pretty bummed for what this game delivers.

Its a fun game until you close the app, your screen turns off, or it goes into double app mode. It never saves ypur game and multiple times it resets the game after just a few seconds after the phone screens turns off. This is a huge issue that really needs to be fixed. The designers of this game are seriously slacking.
