Fiasco Second Edition Hits Shelves Soon from Bully Pulpit Games

Jul 9, 2020

Following a successful Kickstarter run, Bully Pulpit Games is preparing to release the second edition of the GMless roleplaying game Fiasco. What’s also being called Fiasco in a Box includes everything you’ll need to engage in tales of capers going oh so wrong played to completion in an evening. The boxed set is for three to five players, ages 14+, plays in around two hours, and will carry an MSRP of $30.00 when it hits stores shortly.

A quick side note: I reviewed classic Fiasco way back in 2012, on an episode of the old podcast, and really dug it!

From Bully Pulpit:

The original Fiasco is an award-winning, GM-less game for 3-5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation. During a game you engineer and play out stupid, disastrous situations, usually at the intersection of greed, fear, and lust. It’s like making your own Coen brothers movie, in about the same amount of time it’d take to watch one.

Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong – inspired by films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. You play ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control.

The new Fiasco retains all the features familiar to old friends, while being much more welcoming to new ones:

We’ve tossed out all the dice and index cards and replaced them with playing cards. Setup elements? On cards. Tilt, Aftermath and positive and negative Outcomes? On cards.It speeds up play, adds intuitive, strong visual appeal, and just plain improves the play experience.
