Inceptor is a board game based off of the science-fiction heist thriller Inception, currently seeking funding on KickStarter.
While the game doesn't seem nearly as complicated as the movie, the goals of Inceptor are unique enough that the manual definitely warrants a once over before you start playing. Similar to the movie, the goal of Inceptor is to plant an idea in the subconscious mind (represented as the physical board) of a character only known as the Mark. In order to accomplish your goal, you need to accumulate the necessary amount of "idea cards" to complete each of your missions. The game comes packaged in a stylish briefcase, and the cards as well as the board itself all have a very sleek and minimalist design, with a muted color palette reminiscent of the film it's based off of.
If you're a fan of the movie, then you owe it to yourself to check out the Inceptor board game.
