What it is about
The year is 2084. The billionaires have abandoned a burning Earth for the safety of their orbital arks, leaving the Peace Force to patrol the streets below. Society has crumbled into a quiet, brutal occupation. You are not a soldier. You are one person, standing alone as a tank rumbles toward you. You have 10 minutes and one bottle. This game doesn't just tell you about resistance- it teaches you how to build it. HOW TO KILL A TANK is a solo tabletop role-playing game about desperation, ingenuity, and the raw mechanics of defiance. Guided by real-world knowledge, you will source a bottle, choose a fuel, fashion a wick, and decide if you will make the fire stick. Every choice carries weight. Every roll of the dice determines if you survive long enough to land a second hit. This is not a game about heroism. It is a game about making do with what you have, managing your safety against the attention you draw, and knowing that one mistake means you are caught, burned, or worse. Includes: A complete 4-step gameplay loop that mirrors the real process of assembling a Molotov cocktail, from bottle selection to optional thickener. Real-world knowledge woven into the mechanics- learn why beer bottles fail, why diesel won’t ignite, and what makes a wick reliable. A simple but tense risk-management system: track your Safety (don’t let it hit 0) and your Visibility (don’t let it hit 3) or the game ends. HOW TO KILL A TANK is a great game for anyone who wants a fast, tense solo experience that takes roughly 20 minutes to play. It is designed for those who appreciate grounded mechanics, real-world survival knowledge, and games that treat resistance not as a fantasy, but as a skill. This game features violence, fire, and themes of political unrest.
