What it is about
An Apocalyptic, Arcade-Themed Roleplaying Game for 1 or More Players The world as we know it has ended. You have not seen another person outside of your friend group in years. The cities are dusty, dark, and overgrown with flourishing plant life. However, as you turn down an unfamiliar street corner with your friends, you see an arcade in the distance. And its lights are on. There is no way that the business can be operating. The electric grid has been down for ages. As you step closer, you see a claw machine propping the crooked front door of the building open. It is flashing purple and blue lights. This is the first of a series of games exploring the depths of an arcade at the end of the world. For this game, you will need: A score sheet (found at the back of this book) A standard deck of 54 playing cards, including 2 Jokers Two six-sided dice
