Buckshot Roulette

Mike Klubnika · CRITICAL REFLEX

Quick read

Buckshot Roulette is a shotgun wager: skip shells, take pills, do not blink. A round is a bet, and the table is the whole campaign.

What kind of game is it?

Horror tension in a round rather than a twenty-hour campaign. You load a shotgun, you pass it, you drink something you should not. The evening is a clip of dread you chose.

Who is it for?

For players who love a shotgun, a table, and one more pull of the trigger.
