13 Points on Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes - Steel Crate Games - 2015 [PC]

1. This is what I think you really want to know about this: yes, people who don't play video games will enjoy playing this game at your dinner party. Or at whatever kind of party you have. I don't know what you're into.

2. Remember to print up the bomb manuals before your guests arrive.

3. This is a party game but it's not the sort of party game where you can chit chat while playing. This makes it really handy to have if you don't actually like your friends.

4. The games are about five minutes long predominantly. In between games, you argue who's fault it is.

5. NOT MINE!

6. This is fun even when you lose but it's more fun when you win.

7. If you are playing with first timers, get people initially to specialize in one or two types of puzzle a piece. There is a lot to learn, the manuals are pretty thick and it gets a bit intimidating.

8. Probably one person will be the weak link in your system. Have that person mix the drinks.

9. They make a big deal about people w/ the manuals not being able to see the bomb and vice versa. I don't honestly think it matters one bit for casual play but it would be kind of hilarious to have someone hide in a blanket fort as the game suggests in its opening sequence.

10. "Somebody set up us the bomb." It will be said.

11. The mini-game called "Who's on first?" is the most breathtakingly infuriating thing in gaming since the dog that laughs at you in Duck Hunt.

12. Infuriating is fun in this case.

13. After playing this just because you have guests over, you will want to have guests over just to play this.
