Signal (2025) is a cooperative game for 2+ players, which thematically reminds me of the film Arrival (2016).
The humans supply the inputs (wooden pieces of different shapes and colors), then the alien moves them around according to certain hidden rules.
The humans and alien win if the goal output is created after the alien manipulates the inputs.

Looks interesting and rather minimalist
Yeah, it does a lot with a little. Good emergent storytelling.
What's your opinion? Who's it for?
I wasn't expecting the alien's rules to be so open-ended. I like the flexibility, but I could see others getting frustrated by how free-form it is.
If you've played Things in Rings, and had fun figuring out the placement rules, you might enjoy this. I'll need to play Signals more before I have anything else to say.
