About this board game
Comanauts is a cooperative adventure game for 2–4 players with a 120-minute play time. Players enter the subconscious of Dr. Martin Strobal, a brilliant inventor whose Mobius Ring has created a catastrophe instead of delivering unlimited clean energy.
The doctor lies in a coma after being bathed in radiation by the malfunctioning invention. A singularity now threatens to consume the world, and the only way to revive Strobal is to enter his troubled mind and free him from the demons within.
Players work together to explore the secrets of Strobal’s dreams while following his inner child through eleven different Comazones. Each world holds dangers and mysteries, as well as the Inner Demon that keeps the doctor trapped in his coma.
- Explore eleven distinct Comazones inside a tormented subconscious.
- Choose from 22 unique avatars.
- Uncover secrets and overcome the Inner Demon.
- Race against time to revive Dr. Strobal before it is too late.
As the second installment in Jerry Hawthorne’s Adventure Book system following Stuffed Fables, Comanauts builds on mechanisms introduced in that earlier game while offering an experience aimed at more mature players. Its exploration-and-danger format places the group in a surreal race to save both one man and the world beyond his dreams.
With its unusual science-fiction premise, collaborative adventure, and multiple dream worlds to uncover, Comanauts challenges players to penetrate a genius’s inner life and overcome the force holding him hostage.
