The easy-going nature of the belonging outside belonging mechanics mixed with the intensity of a race-against-the-clock leads to some truly slapstick comedy role play vibes. I cannot wait to see the variety of playbooks this game could hold, because I WILL be playing it again.” - Superdillin, host of One Shot “Elegantly designed, fun and quick to learn, tense and exciting to play. Rom Com Drama Bomb is the perfect encapsulation of the romance, comedy and action tropes you love, with a ticking clock that'll make you sweat whether you're the Villain or a Lead. I plotted deviously, I sighed romantically, I gasped in shock... I learned to love again.” - B Marsollier, Co-DM of Planet Arcana Show more
