What it is about
Cross the Pan is a one-page solo game. You carry a sealed chit across a salt flat. Six watches. You need two dice, a pencil, and paper. No other book, no app, and no map. Each watch you roll a trouble, choose Legs, Nerve, or Water, and roll again to pass. You write one sentence about what you do. The file is a single A4 page. A session is about half an hour. Some runs fail. That is the game. Personal play and actual-play notes are allowed. Do not resell the file. The rules text was drafted with automated assistance and checked by running the procedure. The cover is lettering, not a generated picture.
