How to play: Freeasco! The Instant Set-up Fiasco Super Hack

1. Assemble your brave souls (3-6 players) and distribute many tiny slips of paper or little index cards.
2. Discuss the setting you're playing in. Keep it vague or make it precise, ain't no thing (i.e. a contemporary gaming convention; a college town in the 1920s US; a shady forest grove inhabited by graceful, sentient badgers).
3. Demand that each player write at least 2 relationships, object, locations, and needs (one per card or slip of paper please). Fold and place said pieces of paper in four different (labeled) cups, one for each type. Keep these at the precise level in Fiasco, for example instead of listing something as 'sexual object' write instead 'furry costume' or instead of 'rivals' say 'internet rivals who haven't met IRL.'
4. Draw cards by rotating around the table one at a time, and place them between two players. If you get one that sucks, suck it up and roll with it. Make sure you draw at least one location, object, and need. Once that minimum has been met, feel free to mix the locations, objects, and needs into a stylish hat to randomize the final selection(s).
5. Play as normal, with two white and two black dice for each player in the center. The epilogues and tilt work as normal, just use the preset ones in the book.
6. Have a Freeasco!

Did you guys do anything to ensure everyone got a relationship?

Yes, we did those first. Every pair had a relationship and one other item (Need, Location, Object).
