Nosedive
It seems like you might be referring to "Nosedive," either the Black Mirror episode or the board game it inspired. Since your past questions have leaned toward games, Iâll assume you want the scoop on the Nosedive board gameâbut if you meant the episode, just say so, and Iâll pivot! Nosedive is a social-strategy card game based on the Black Mirror Season 3 premiere, where your social score dictates your lifeâs worth. Youâre collecting Lifestyle cardsârated one to five stars, from âA six-minute lunch breakâ to âYour own private islandââto craft a âperfectâ existence, while dodging dings to your reputation. The twist? Itâs tied to a free smartphone app (iOS/Android) that dishes out over 1,000 unique experiencesâlike âReceiving an anonymous hate cakeââwhich you assign to other players. They rate them, and those ratings tweak your social score. After three rounds, you tally points from your cards, but you only keep ones your final score supportsâlow score, no fancy lifestyle. Itâs a 45-minute game for 3-6 players, ages 13+, with a pastel, dystopian vibe thatâs more playful than grim. Setupâs easy: grab a pawn, deal five cards, sync the app, and let it assign starting scores. The catch? The appâs clunkyâpassing one phone around drags the pace, and itâs glitchy about saving progress. Still, itâs a fun, light jab at social media obsession if youâve got a sharp crew. How many stars do you think youâd snag before your score tanks?
