Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes Review (FilmPineapple)
Stressful, frustrating, but exciting and satisfying when you succeed.
Not recommended if you don't have a strong relationship or a good understanding of one another. This game can be frustrating even for people who are close.
It's fun when you have a good handle on how the modules work, and a good system between the expert and the defuser.
You really need to have strong communication with your game partner, and to be truly successful, you should establish specific speech patterns or communication protocols between your teams. Also, you'll look like a fool if you don't know your ports. And you'll get your game-self blown up.
You should both familiarize yourself with the manual before playing because if you send someone in as a defuser without any context or definitions of the modules, you'll both be frustrated with each other.
