What is Fiasco?

A Game About Powerful Ambition and Poor Impulse Control

FIASCO is an award-winning story-telling game inspired by cinematic tales of small-time capers gone disastrously wrong. You’ll tell a story about ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control! Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, you just might end up back where you started. You probably won’t be lucky.

Fiasco Classic

FIASCO CLASSIC is the original, 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 will 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.

Praise

“Fiasco … is the finest bit of writing on neo-noir I’ve encountered in years” – John Rogers, Executive Producer and Writer, Leverage.

“Fiasco was one of the greatest storytelling RPGs I’ve ever played. I highly recommend it.” – Wil Wheaton

“Fiasco is hands-down one of the best RPGs I’ve ever read. Can’t wait to play.” – Gareth Michael Skarka

“It should be in the bookshelf of all RPG gamers, period.” – Philippe-Antoine Menard, the Chatty DM

“Fiasco … is really as good as everyone says. It’s a great pick-up game, and it runs in just a couple of hours. The game really delivers on its premise, a fast paced tale of foolish people getting in way over their heads. I’ll definitely be
playing this again.” – Brennan Taylor

“The game’s design is such a thing of beauty, making so much with so little visible effort, that any game designer, especially RPG designer, owes it to himself to play enough to understand how it works in play.” – Gerald Cameron

“You go from 0 to awesome in 2.5 hours. This is a game you can whip out on those nights when some people can’t make your regular game, and everyone who is there will have a great time telling a really solid story.” – John Marron
