This game was definitely made by fans. The Delorean. The Clocktower. The fading picture. It's all here. Unfortunately this game is super swingy. I've played plenty of difficult dice chuckers, from Elder Sign to Pathfinder Adventures, but this one seems exceptionally punishing.
The game manual itself recommends that you spend early turns doing side objectives in order to build up extra powers for future turns. Extra powers=more actions per turn. The problem is, everything in the game (except for movement) is done with a dice roll and there is a 1/3 chance that you roll a Biff, which not only fails whatever it is you're doing, but also causes Biff to set you further behind. So in the crucial first turns of the game you can complete challenges and gain 1 to 2 extra actions for future turns or you can fail the challenge, waste your turn, still be stuck with the starting 5 powers, have the trouble card messing up your game because you failed to clear it, AND have Biff set you further behind.
Even fighting Biff is a dice roll, so if Biff is causing too much damage and you try to stop him, you can roll even more Biffs. This can lead to a completely unwinnable situation within the first several turns. I had a two-player game where it ended with the love meter at -4 (the lowest it can go, you need 13-15 to win) AND the Delorean still in the starting space (we did get the 3 car parts at least). That is not just losing the game, that is elderly grandpa fighting Mike Tyson levels of obliteration. It was not even close.
I've been trying out different house rules to figure out the best way to play it because the theme and components in the game are fantastic. If you're a Back to the Future fan, pick this one up. If you're looking for a good co-op game, try Horrified or Pandemic.
