This One Time
 |
This is a game of braggarts¸ liars¸ and wagers
This one time...a group of friends got together for drinks after decades apart. As tequila is wont to do¸ the stories started flowing from each and every glass. Soon¸ the friends were regaling each other with the grandest--and absolutely¸ positively¸ unimpeachably true--adventures. As it turned out¸ four of the friends had been beheaded. Two of them twice. Three friends had (separately) located the Lost Treasure of Munchausen on the dark side of the sun¸ one while carrying his own head in a sack. Two had bested the great Medusa¸ one while bedding her and the other while actually stone.
Determining the most unforgettable of the exploits proved to be impossible¸ until a helpful server with a tray full of drinks suggested a wager...and volunteered to hold the pot until the winner was determined. Alas¸ when the winner was found¸ the waitress was not.
And so¸ the friends agreed to meet each year on the same same day and share their escapades. From the day of the Great Waitress Heist forward¸ they had rules for their wagers to determine the winner¸ who was then obligated to buy the drinks.
This One Time is about telling outrageous stories that are absolutely true in every way. It uses a deck of playing cards and a few tokens to help tell the tales and determine a winner. It can be played with a group or solo. There is no band in this game.
This One Time is a hack of I Went to Japan Once by James Lennox-Gordon and is partially inspired by The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It uses the Dicier font by Speak the Sky.
