The Siblings Trouble (2016)

The Siblings Trouble is a card-driven, co-operative, storytelling game inspired by finding the mysterious places in your backyard. It boils down all the core elements of an RPG — storytelling, exploration, discover, treasure, encounters, etc. — into a thirty-minute narrative game you can play as an ice-breaker, in-betweener, or as a way to introduce storytelling and adventure games to new players. This is not a simplified, beginner version of Dungeons & Dragons; it is an experience unto itself that leverages the fun of pen-and-paper games and lets players have quick, fun adventures together. The Siblings Trouble is influenced by Miyazaki, The Goonies, The Hardy Boys, and even Pikmin. It's about grabbing a backpack, a sandwich, and that monster you call a "sibling", then heading into the wilderness and leaving the comfort of home at your back.
