Black Friday is a print-n-play physical rpg about doing your Christmas shopping.
It's played on a map of your own local mall. It's level of maturity will depend almost entirely on the group playing it, but it does encourage creative descriptions of your kills, so I recommend the game for a teen audience and older.
The game is heavy with 2000s nostalgia, taking place at the height of Black Friday in-person sales. You literally fight your way through the mall, earning more Coupons to spend as you cut down the shoppers around you. It's the perfect game to play with your family today for Thanksgiving, or tomorrow, instead of actually shopping on Black Friday.
I put a lot of work into the layout of the rulebook, trying to capture that mid 2000s feel.
Adult characters have a shopping list they are trying to complete, while Minors are trying to complete a Wish List of fun mall activities and things they want for Christmas. Family conflict and drama will unfold, and every family is trying to bring home the Special Item of the season.
- Based on the PbtA (Apocalypse World) "engine"
- 12 playbooks - 6 adult characters and 6 minors. They all have different Special Moves that will help them to achieve their goal.
- 3 PDFs available, a full color version with separate sheet of Playbooks, and a black and white "printer friendly" version.
It is very American-centric because of its premise, but can be fun for anyone. I hope you all enjoy this game this weekend. It's been an idea in my head for ages, and I'm very excited to finally share it with the world!
