Surprise Parties
Surprise Parties is a simple story game intended for fast play, fun situations and light preparation. Any session of the game is composed of two key elements: characters and an adventure. The characters are taken from popular media acrhetypes, but they are thrown in at the deep end in a genre they are not usually to be found in. Mashing up comedic leading characters with action-adventure stories creates some surprising situations to explore.
