Shaft is a 3-6 player game in which a motley crew of space prospectors must flee a ravenous alien, weighing up a balance between working together to keep the alien at bay and betraying each other to be the first (and only) one to escape with their life Instead of taking turns, everyone plays cards from their hand face down each round. Can you trust your fellow crewmates? Or will you stab them in the back and go it alone? At the end of the round all of the cards played are revealed and resolved simultaneously, and everyone's true intentions are uncovered! —description from the publisher
