What: The Cold War
Where: Washington DC Who: Our cast included Graham as Congressman Chester Lafayette; Caroline as wire-tapper for-hire Chad Black; Nick as Ellen Sandusky, (corrupt) attorney at law; Kevin as shady CEO John Jacobson; and introducing David as the lovably incompetent hippie/hit-man, Joey Enchilada. What a fiasco! I can't believe the congressman got off scot-free. Not fair! When Ellen gets a frame job, her husband John calls his trustworthy goon, Joey Enchilada. Problem is, Joey's mind is a little messed up from all the acid he's been tripping, so he tells his cousin and partner-in-crime, Chad, the wrong name. With the frame job botched, and Chad hooking up with Ellen under an assumed persona, things start to get a little out of control. The blackmail keeps piling up until everyone gets caught. Here are the stats: 5/5 characters committing crimes 3/5 characters using comatose soldiers in the VA hospital as a table. (Yeah, we were not good people.) 4/5 characters in jail at some point 5/5 players being awesome Thanks for the fantastic game you guys! Mechanically, I've never had a game where the tilt went so perfectly. We seriously nailed both of them (death just in time and someone develops a conscience). What did you think of the game? Will you play Fiasco again? |
