Two games of survival horror, often without the survival.Desperation is two small roleplaying games, built on the same dark tone and mechanics, that are truly pick-up-and-play expe riences for you and your friends.Gothic storytelling experiences steeped in actual history, Dead House and The Isabel are dark, lyrical games about people pushed far past their limits. Desperation asks you to assume an unusual point of view—instead of deciding what people say and do, you decide who says and does the things that must happen. The sense of dread is palpable with each card reveal, because in these games, the things that must happen are a gradually escalating kaleidoscope of unimaginable horror. If you like card-based roleplaying games like For the Queen and The Quiet Year but have a dark and unmerciful heart, you’ll love Desperation.What's Included?The Desperation box set includes a magnetic closure and two 64-card decks (one for each game) each with its own tuckbox and rulebook.
