Star Crossed by Bully Pulpit Games
A Rules-Light Romance for 2 Players Who Want to Be Together…But Can’t
Star Crossed is a two-player game about really, really wanting to, when you really, really can’t. It’s about the excitement, tension, and heartbreak of romance!
In Star Crossed, you’ll craft characters who are powerfully attracted to each other, but have a compelling reason not to act on their feelings. Some of the things you’ll want your character to do are going to increase that attraction— and when that happens, you are going to pull a brick out from an increasingly shaky tower and place it on the top. If the tower falls, your characters act on their feelings! Will your love be doomed, triumphant, or something in-between? Find out in STAR CROSSED!
NOTE: Playing Star Crossed requires a 54-brick tumbling block tower to play, which is naturally not included in the digital edition! Not sure how to play? Check out this helpful video!
Mars Colony from TCK Roleplaying
A High-Stakes Game of Sci-Fi Political Drama and Scandal for 2 Players
Political power and an isolated populace? Scandal never seemed so appealing.
The colony was created by a coalition of Earth governments that advertised the project as a multi-national utopia. Now, after years of incompetence and disaster, the colony is dying. You have been nominated to turn things around. While you were a celebrated expert on Earth, Mars is a different environment entirely. Good luck…
Mars Colony is a roleplaying game designed specifically for two players. One will take on the role of the colony’s appointed “savior,” while the other will be responsible for all the various problems that are plaguing the citizens of Mars. As the game progresses, the savior will face a constant struggle between competence and failure, honesty and deception. It is a game custom built to explore the cult-of-personality present in modern-day politics, but playable in the time it takes to watch a long movie.
