About the game:
Till the Last Gasp is a dramatic 2-player storytelling game of duels coming to tables in March 2023 from designer Will Hindmarch (Gameplaywright, Hookseed Vol. 1) with additional design by Alex Roberts (Star Crossed: The Two-Player Game of Forbidden Love, For the Queen!).
Spanning genres and settings, this game takes you straight to the action of two characters in conflict—and as blows are exchanged, emotions are betrayed, secrets are revealed, and stakes are raised. Till the Last Gasp uniquely enables you to capture the climax of great cinema fights and clashes from stories we all know and love, and new stories you’ll make through play.
Till the Last Gasp lets you—
Describe and Dramatize: Till the Last Gasp draws steel and goes for the heart! This is a storytelling game as much about your character’s innermost feelings as it is about armor or weapons. A duel flourishes to life with the drama you bring to each move. Reflect the heat of your conflict in your surroundings: smash vases, swing from chandeliers, and scar machinery with laser swords.
Duel in Any Setting: Play fist-fighting monks, gunslingers on a windswept plain, high-tech laser sharpshooters, and wielders of the arcane arts! Till the Last Gasp can accommodate nearly any setting and a wide variety of genres and characters. You can even import characters from other storytelling games or media you love! It is a game of two characters locked in conflict, discovering something deep at the heart of it.
Dive Right In: All you need are two players (and an optional facilitator), the box, and your imagination to play. Create new characters and worlds on the spot—or use its ready scenarios for quick, no-prep play.
