GAME mechanics

  • Cooperative: In Back to the Future: Back in Time, players must work together to complete the game's objectives. Each player controls a character from the movie, such as Marty McFly or Doc Brown, and must collaborate with the others to ensure that the DeLorean is ready for time travel and that historical events take place as required. Cooperation is essential, as the game presents challenges that require specific skills and cards only available to certain characters. Therefore, planning actions together and sharing resources is key to success.
  • Data Scrolling: Dice rolling is a central mechanic in the game, used to perform practically every action. Each player rolls a number of dice with different symbols that can be used to move characters, interfere in events or fight enemies. For example, a lightning bolt symbol may be needed to run or manipulate the DeLorean, while a fist symbol can be used to confront Biff and his henchmen. The randomness introduced by the dice requires players to constantly adapt to circumstances and make strategic use of the results obtained.
