Death Game

Compete in a high-stakes battle for survival. Struggle against all odds for victory. Play until one of you wins, and the rest of you die. 

Key Features 

• Customise any arena based on a battle-royale trope of your choice, or make up something from scratch. 
• Create your arena through discussion around the table, and determine a gimmick by secret ballot. 
• Create your competitor and some NPCs. Choose from classic battle royale archetypes like the Puzzle Legend, the Game Baby, or the Knife Pervert. 
• Play over several days, narrowing down the number of competitors as they die.  Simple, dice based resolution mechanics keep things moving. 
• When your character dies, you become the Game Master, utilising a rotating GM mechanic to make character death fun rather than depressing.  Everyone gets to try out different characters, and everyone gets  a turn GMing. 
• Use the Arena Board, where you store information about locations, NPCs and ongoing clocks, to pass the story around. 
• Continue to play until there are only the same number of competitors as there are players. Then, a showdown is triggered in which only one of you leaves alive. 
• If you're a fan of media like The Hunger Games, Battle Royale, or Squid Game, this is for you.
