Play as long as you want, 10-60 minutes. + +- Each player describes their character in one or two sentences. They also have a starting inventory of any three items they want. +- One player starts out as GM. The GM describes a challenging situation. For example the player's driver's license has expired but they need to get to the airport to pick up Rhianna. +- The next player describes how they solve the challenge using an item in their inventory. For example, they use their Grouch Marx disguise to blend in with the orcish army. +- When a player beats the challenge, the GM rewards them with a loot item. Items are totally random, and shouldn't relate to the challenge. +- The player always loses the item they used to solve the challenge--all items are one-use only. +- After the player beats the challenge, they become the GM. They choose another player, and issues that player the next challenge. +- The game is over when it gets boring, or after a set number of challenges. +- **Variant**: You can have one GM the entire game who does every challenge and loot reward. +- **Variant**: When you succeed at a challenge, get two items, not one.
