If the player in the hot seat isn’t able to name three valid answers when the metal balls reach the bottom of the timer, (when 5 seconds are up), they gain no points. I will run the radeontop utility to capture the measurements, I'll upload the results here, but for the moment, does anyone else experience the same issue? Searching in the web, I can see several similar issues, but all are more like constant fps drops because of high temperatures, or faulty AMD driver in Windows. Important to note that this issue was not happening like 1 month ago. The unique twisted timer has “fun zoop sound effects”… which mean nothing. If you lose the timer, simply use your phone instead. Apparently, there’s a 5 second rule in psychology that involves urges, goals and movement. There’s a 5 second rule for anxiety, one for success, one for anxiety. Personally, I think you could also easily make your own rules here and play in teams but take turns. For example, you could take separate turns but collect points as a team.

Components

Each invasion plan establishes a larger pattern for the aliens’ tactical use of three different game elements: UFOs, crises, and the enemies assigned to assault XCOM headquarters. However, my adult memory questioned itself and I went down an internet wormhole. Was it 5 seconds? Is that a thing?

It’s the concept we had as kids that if we drop a piece of food on the ground and wanted to eat it anyway, five seconds is not long enough to obtain germs and therefore, it’s okay to eat it anyway. Each round, UFOs appear in orbit, hovering over the world’s continents. UFOs that your Interceptors don’t eliminate spread fear through the continents that they menace, and if two continents fall into panic, your organization loses funding, your efforts are undermined, you fail to safeguard humanity, and you lose the game. If you do not have a large number of players, you could go for four or five rounds. As with most games like this one, you can generally play everyone is tired. Just make sure everyone gets at least one turn. Each success rolled by the soldiers assigned to base defense damages an enemy, and if the enemy suffers an amount of damage equal to its health, it is killed. Each success rolled by the scientists assigned to a research task adds one success token to the task. To complete their research, the scientists need to earn the number of success tokens indicated by the task.

In XCOM: The Board Game, the alien invasion has begun. Early encounters have only served to prove that the world’s militaries are hopelessly outgunned. Panic leads to riots, and governments struggle to maintain any control. Human civilization is on the brink of collapse… There is an issue that occurs almost every hour or 45 minutes, it is not constant. I thought it was related to overheating, but temperatures in GPU are almost always over 70° and below 80°. CPU temps are almost always over 90° when gaming, but it seems that is "normal" for this laptop. For example, there’s also 5 Second Rule Junior (for younger players), 5 Second Rule Uncensored (for a mature crowd) and the original game of 5 Second Rule. The person in the hot seat must name three valid answers in five seconds. What if a person cannot name 3 things?

In the case of a tie, play a tie-breaking round. The first player in the tie-breaker should be the oldest player, according to the rulebook. The weird thing is, after the fps drop, the game continues working normally for 1 or 2 hours, then the fps drop happens again and so on. I think if it was a temperature issue, the fps drop would be more constant or dramatically impacting the whole system. Each task has a threat level that starts at “1,” and even as you roll your pool of blue XCOM dice, you roll a single red enemy die. So long as the result of the enemy die is higher than the task’s current threat level, you can choose to reroll all the dice in your pool, both the XCOM dice and the enemy die. In this way, you can continue to mount your desperate defense of humanity, even as the aliens intensify their efforts. The describer MAY NOT look at the names that must be described BEFORE the timer is turned over. The player that turns the timer over must say 'GO' as the timer is turned. The describer may turn the card and start describing once 'GO' is called out. Because this game is ridiculously simple, it’s a great option to start with before ramping your group up to something with a lot of rules. It brings instant energy to the room and gives players unique insight into the person who’s answering the questions in rapid-fire fashion. Beyond listening carefully to ensure you don’t repeat someone else’s answer, it’s also great fun to be the one to call out other players for breaking the ‘no repeats’ rule.

We wrote down famous names on pieces of paper and each of us had to explain who the person was without mentioning the name. We enjoyed it so much that we played it again and again.’ [3]
