Those Pesky Humans (2009)

Those Pesky Humans game attempts to turn the table and let you play the role of the Monsters (one player) who are fighting off the annoying Humans (team of other players) who keep invading your home (dungeon). The Monsters side lays out (not random) their home in such a way as to help protect their valuables and dispatch these pesky trespassers as quickly as possible. The Human’s goal is to get rich by collecting 3 gems and exiting the dungeon alive.
The game is playable solo or against one or a team of your "friends". It is highly re-playable due to the random dungeon tile design and the variety of Avatars and abilities you may choose to play as. Mechanics are simple to keep the pace moving quickly.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Unlike some other dungeon crawl style games, Pesky Humans attempts to reduce the randomness of the game and introduce strategy wherever it can. For example the room tiles though initially chosen in a batch at random are actually placed on the table by the player playing the monsters. So there is strategy in laying out the tiles. This is also true for the resources and doors that are placed in the rooms. The Monster player is in effect the dungeon designer for the start of the game. Then the decks are designed to help add strategy by including action and reaction cards versus any loot or equipment. Also, each player’s Avatar has several abilities that can be played only once per game but only 3 out of 6 are chosen to be played in any game.

Goal of the Game

One Player, as Those Pesky Humans, wants to delve into the depths of the Monster Lair and achieve fame, acclaim, and lots of cold, hard gold pieces by retrieving the Three Legendary Gem Stones...but at least one of them must make it out alive.

The other Player, as the Monster LORD and his minions, wants very much to keep this from happening. The Monsters win the game if all of the Human Avatars are killed, protecting the hard-attained hoard.
