This is a little weirdo. Cooperative deduction is not a huge genre and this one fully lives up to its' subtitle "A Game of Passive Aggressive Cohabitation". Only played 2 player so far. Not unlike Cryptid every player gets conditions that must be fulfilled for the solution of the puzzle (these are precalculated and put in envelopes in campaign style for 2 player, and scenarios for 3 and 4, there is now a web generator for more puzzles apparently). On your turn you get to change the 4 room house a bit and the other players let you know if they think the changes was good/bad/neutral and you need to figure out their conditions while putting the house in a state that fulfills all yours. The action you can do is paint a room, remove or add an object or replace an object. All objects have one of 4 colors and one of 4(?) styles and it is certainly quite tricky to get everything right. Of 4 games we managed twice! Communication is very limited and we already had to have a debate what constitutes a positive, neutral or negative change... definitely want to play more. This is a good game to train yourself out of "needing to win" btw :)
