Remote Viewing 2019

In Remote Viewing, players are testing their clairvoyant abilities in describing the possible location of criminals to FBI agents.

The game includes a large map and 4 levels of clues. Each clue card represents a different location in the map, but depending upon the difficulty chosen, the image may be more obscured. The player taking on the role of the clairvoyant in a turn chooses a difficulty of card and attempts to describe a location to the FBI agents.

The FBI agents each get one guess for the location and once they choose a location, they cannot move it and a second player cannot guess the same space. The clairvoyant has a limited amount of time to describe the scene, and if an agent can guess the location in that time, both the agent and the clairvoyant gets points. If an agent guesses after the description time, only the agent gets points. If no agent guesses the correct location, the clairvoyant loses points.

The game ends when a player reaches 9 points and that player wins.

The game is based upon one of the designer's works from the "Is this a game?" exhibit, and includes a two-player cooperative version which most closely resembles the exhibition version.
