‘Beneath Our Feet’ is an asymmetric mystery/survival game in which a team of explorers who have crash-landed on an alien planet encounter strange new lifeforms which they must eat to survive until their rescue ship arrives.

But this planet is alive, and sees the humans as parasites crawling over its surface. It threatens their survival by gradually warping the environment. Deserts may spread, new chasms may open up limiting movement, even the lifeforms themselves may mutate to disadvantage the explorers. They may become poisonous, or hide, or fly out of reach, or dissolve in water, or affect scientific equipment, or develop any of hundreds of new traits under the malign influence of the planet.

Can the explorers devise ways to deal with the planet’s defences and survive? Or will the planet’s slow, relentless progress leave them too debilitated to signal once the rescue ship enters orbit?

Previously known simply as ‘Planet’, ‘Beneath Our Feet’ is our new interpretation of one of our most heavily tested and well-received games. We’ve redoubled our focus on the very best aspects of this game, cutting everything which was merely ‘good’. We’ve also done a detailed component analysis, simplifying some components and outright removing others to slash the cost of production.

• The game can be started by new players within 3 minutes by approaching it as a survival situation.
• Uniform turn structure keeps gameplay simple.
• Unbelievable replayability! Hundreds of traits, plus mysteries and achievements for advanced players.
• Strongly convergent game consistently produces close finishes in every game.
• Hidden token draw mechanic enables clever ways of inferring hidden information.
• Many of the Planet player’s actions are hidden. This creates suspense and simplifies the game for the other players.
