Brilliantly organized game and hilariously amazing artwork

I can't speak highly enough of this board game - I truly might start a cult around it. I feel like I've played it 5 times and each time has felt like a different gameplay experience, and I've converted 3 people now into buying the game. The gameplay is nuanced so there's not one clear path to winning - it really is a great combination of strategy and luck (much like the club). The game is thoughtful and respectful toward strippers/sex workers, with tongue-in-cheek humor regarding strip club clientele and it feels like it is never "punching down" with the humor and wit. Exotic Cancer, you're clearly a very talented and creative person! Great work!

Spicy & Classy

The boardgame design style is so unique and interesting! I love everything about it! The gameplay is amazing, the rulebook may seem overwhelmed at first (although the design make it easier to go through it), but if you play it once, then you're ready to go & play it again correctly (my case). Super enjoyable and funny, while keeping it classy and sassy. Must be played with club music on the background!
One of my friends who is NOT into boardgames said that this is the only one he loves! Most probably because of the mini games, because it involves the best trick in the books... Gambling 😂

Great and fun game for with a serious theme

First of all let’s make few things clear. This game is different in its theme than many others and it has this sorta ugly realism behind it. It might not be for everyone and thus some folks out there are way too critical of it. However let’s get down to the point.

I’ve more 100 different board games ranging from heavy euro ones (like Terraforming Mars, SETI, Gloomhaven) to heavy RPG ones like ISS Vanguard and such. Not to mention different kind of games ranging from Halo: Flashpoint all the way to Jaipur and Arboretum. So there’s a mix of variety in the collection (even the World of Warcraft TBG is there), so based on this I’ve encountered a few of different games on my own.

What then makes Nightshift like, really fun and engaging to play? The gameplay and the thematic, the art and the replay value. It is easy to learn quite quickly and it does provide a very good manual to get yourself acquainted with it. The art, made by Exotic Cancer, is just superb. I’ve the collector’s edition with all the little extra details added and it is a fun one play and showcase.

We’ve been playing this with different combinations of people from the very senior members of board game community all the way with beginners. And the takeout? It’s fun. It’s really enjoyable, it has a clear end and the game itself with the setup and everything takes just a minute or two. Granted this ain’t Ark Nova by any means and such it never aims to be one. This is based on theme and ugly everyday realism the dancers encountered during their work.

Of course due to theme, this ain’t for everyone and especially some of the boardgame community has been very harsh (probably because of their insecurities) without any reason to do so. It is a lightweight, fun game, with great art and very fluid gameplay which is rooted in reality. I’ve had fun this, many of my friends enjoyed it, even the casual gamers found it fun to play.
