This is a brief overview that lays out the basic of setting up and playing a game of Fiasco. 

Recommended number of players: 3-5, Play time 1.5-3 hours on average

Fiasco is a 'GMless' game, you don't need a Dungeon Master or Game Master setting up the rules and the world. It is helpful to have a facilitator - someone playing with you who has played the game before.

We recommend picking up a copy of the rules from Bully Pulpit Games. They have copies available as PDF and physical books. Try your friendly local games store. If they carry role playing games they probably carry Fiasco.

In addition to 3-5 playersFiasco only requires a handful of components:

1) Rulebook (available here)

2) Playsets (also available here but also available elsewhere online, or you can make you own!)

3) Dice - 4 per player (2 black, 2 white)

4) Index Cards/Paper

5) Writing Utensils
