What's your favorite action show or movie? Pretend I missed it and need you to tell me EVERYTHING awesome that happened. That's how we storygame. Hearts Blazing is a casual storygame for 3 to 5 players who have a love of episodic fiction and about 1 to 2 hours. After generating a fiction setting together, players take on the roles of dynamic but recognizable specific archetypes.

While there is no winner, per se, the character who secured the most of their keywords reveals the post session denouement of their character last, getting final say on plot outcomesDetails
