📖 About This Game
Welcome to Full Sauna. A game about the struggle to relax. Meet 12 colorful characters who are trying to spend the best time inside. Chill, sweat, flirt, nap, chat, fight, or even fart to make people leave and clear space inside the sauna.
Outscore your opponents by inserting the right character at the right time in order to get the most “Feel Good” points. Or you can always enter the sauna’s black market and sell second-hand bathrobes, aromas and water buckets.
Get yourself a pair of thermodynamic slippers, which will give you additional points at the end of each turn based on the sauna temperature. Tons of strategies and combos await to be explored in a game, which is easy to learn and fast to play.
Full Sauna is a light mix between a card game, a resource management strategy and tableau building.
A turn starts by players paying for turn order. The first player picks up a card from 4 face up cards which form the sauna queue, and plays a character from their hand inside the sauna.
Characters can score chat or feel good tokens (worth different VPs in the end of the game), change the temperature inside the sauna, or collect and sell loot to other visitors. They have different scoring preferences: some need the sauna hot, others cold, some want it full of people so they can chat or flirt, others like it empty, so they can meditate.
Players have to manipulate the tableau to maximize the conditions for the characters they own, and mix different cards, skills and resources to make the most of each moment.
