BROKEN CITIES is a diceless, GMless tabletop RPG in which players take the role of Travelers coming to a City with adventurous goals in mind, while the City wants to convince them to go through the sacrifice needed to fix it. 

Its base version requires 2 to 5 players (though the game also includes a solo variant), for one-shots of 3-4 hours requiring very little preparation.

You'll like this game if you enjoy surrealism and weird adventures, asymetrical roles and urban exploration!

WHAT'S INSIDE THE GAME?

BROKEN CITIES features a complete game system plus everything you need to create and play adventures within its 88 pages:

  • Diceless, card-based game mechanics: it's always up to the players to decide whether they succeed at a cost or fail
  • A step-by-step guide to create the City and its odd atmosphere, as well as the quirky Travelers visiting it
  • Asymetrical roles: the City (controlled by 1 to 5 players) describes its streets and give the Travelers (played by 1 to 5 players) hard choices to react to
  • Dozens of examples to help you come up with ideas of NPCs and places on the spot
  • Variant rules to play the game solo
  • And more!

The game features a clear and efficient layout by Nicolas Folliot (already responsible for Meanwhile, in the Subway and Two Summers) and a gorgeous cover by Laurent Rivelaygue.

My friends and I did a live playthrough of Broken Cities last night! If anyone wants a peek at what the game looks like when played, we had so much fun with it -- I'll link the full stream here.

Thanks to Côme for making such a cool game! (Also, hi Côme!)

Wow!!! Thank you so much, Kurt (and friends!), for putting my little game into the spotlight <3
