Giving Up the Ghost
This is a rules-light wacky game about ancient evil overlords trying to hide in their old age among fellow old people in a retirement village. However they all quickly become bored and form a Mystery Club to solve old people crimes. Things tend to go a bit off the rails quickly as failure is unacceptable and they tend to fall back into their old ways to get things done, and necromancy has pretty noticeable side effects! 3-5 Players 2~ Hours 5 Pages Photo by Rubén Bagüés on Unsplash
