Based on Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey, this board game puts the crew of the mission to Jupiter up against HAL, who is sabotaging the trip. One player takes the role of the malevolent HAL, while the other players work together as the crew to outwit the AI and shut it down.

How it plays

HAL doesn't play fair: he takes multiple turns in a row to cause havoc on key systems. The crewmembers, each with their own special ability, must complete three logic sequences in the HAL Core to save the mission before it's too late.

Key features

• 1 vs. many format: one player controls HAL and the rest cooperate as the crew.
• Unique crewmember abilities: each crewmember has a special power to help dodge HAL's tricks.
• Multiple victory conditions: HAL wins if three systems are terminated or if Life Support goes down. The crew wins by completing three logic sequences in the HAL Core.
