Fiasco is an award-winning, GM-less game for 3-5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation. During a game you engineer and play out stupid, disastrous situations, usually at the intersection of greed, fear, and lust. It’s like making your own Coen brothers movie, in about the same amount of time it’d take to watch one.
Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong – inspired by films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. You play ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control.

All the cool, dangerous stuff happens on the ragged edges of civilization. Inhospitable landscapes. Outlaws looking for big payoffs. That's where you find people who don't fit in anywhere else, and "people who don't fit in" are always headed for a fiasco!
Boomtown
by Jason Morningstar
Gold will make people crazy, and there's enough gold in these hills to send the whole world down the path to ruin. Not you, of course. You're better than that—more put together, smarter, meaner. Where others see quick riches you see rot—moral, physical, you name it, in this town it is rotten. And where there's rot there's weakness, and where there's weakness there's a different sort of opportunity. You'll make this place choke up its gold, sure enough, but probably not at the business end of a pickaxe. You're smarter than that. And meaner.
The Ice
by Jason Morningstar
McMurdo Station is a little slice of America transplanted to Antarctica, with all that entails&#mdash;we're here to do science and support the doing of science, but we're also doing each other—a lot—and we're also doing various crimes, and we're also doing…well, think of an isolated American mountain town and use your damn imagination. People get a little intense down here on the ice, and tend toward poor decisions, and sometimes it all goes wrong in a spectacular way..
Requires Fiasco (box set) to play.
