Black Friday: The RPG

Step back into the mid-2000s and head to the mall the day after Thanksgiving.

You have just 5 hours to try to complete your shopping before all the good deals are gone, and you’ll have to fight your way through bloodthirsty crowds in order to do it. This game is played on a map of your local mall, and is meant to be completed in a single sitting. 4+ players.

One-Shot game - Enjoy it over a few hours, in a single sitting. It's a great game to play on Thanksgiving while you're waiting for the turkey to be done, or on Black Friday instead of going shopping.

Simple materials - The game requires a pair of 6-sided dice, pencils, paper, and a mall map of your choice. 

12 Playbooks - The choice of what kind of character you want to be is up to you. Did you want to be the Middle Sibling? What about a Karen? Or perhaps the poor Employee whose family dragged them back to work to shop on their day off? Try all of these, and more, and 6 Adults and 6 Minors to choose from. 

Very little prep work - No need to do a lot of preparation or reading, just print out a map from you local mall and you're good to go. 

PbtA - Mechanics are heavily inspired by Apocalypse World, making this game Powered by the Apocalypse. 

Printer-Friendly - There is both a full color and a black and white version. Plus a zip file for All-in-One Download!
