You are part of a long-running television show. 

You’ve said and done much together over the years, in front of the camera and behind the scenes.

Today is your last day on set. 

There’s no going back.

What does the future hold for you?  

Who will you become? 

How will you say goodbye?

SAFETY:

This is a relatively lighthearted game, but it nevertheless deals with themes of loss, interpersonal conflict, and uncertainty about what the future holds. 

Make sure that you use safety tools, such as Lines and Veils and the X-Card, to ensure everyone’s comfort at the table. 

Take breaks when you need; don’t forget to stretch and drink water. Your safety is more important than any game. 

YOU’LL NEED:

• 3-5 players
• About 2-4 hours
• Paper or a shared online document for note-taking
• A standard deck of playing cards with both jokers
• A collection of physical or online six-sided dice (d6)
