The FIASCO game
Jan. 23rd, 2013 02:02 pmI said that the best part of my weekend was the FIASCO game.
FIASCO is a co-operative improv storytelling game, in which you collectively create a Coen Brothers/Guy Ritchie kind of story. A bunch of people who are nowhere near as smart as they think they are figure out some plan to get rich, or get revenge, or SOMETHING, and then everything goes wrong horribly and, ideally, hilariously. Think FARGO, LOCK, STOCK, AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS, KISS KISS BANG BANG, or that sort of movie.
It is, of course, dependent on having the right group of players -- and William is a standup comic, and Andrea and Erin also do improv. They also brought their friend Andrew, I think his name was. But I could be getting that wrong. Heck, I might be getting "William", "Andrea", and/or "Erin" wrong, too. Because I was paying attention to the characters they were playing.
