Beautifully illustrated with just the right amount of theater.
The two solo games I got were so good that I had to order more even though I won't have time to play them yet. No issues with ordering or shipping.
Once you've played through a few nights and gotten the hang of things, you find there's enough structure to keep things moving smoothly, but enough room to have fun with the characters and their interactions.
I felt like this was a good intro to the world of solo TTRPGs. It was easy to get into as a beginner, but I feel like you could make it as complex as you want.
All Night Breakfast masterfully walks the line of strange and supernatural. A very simple system allows for storytelling advancements and the tables included present interesting pieces of information to fold into the plot. I felt like I could seamlessly move through my investigation with the game’s input and assistance to deliver a compelling story. Highly recommended!
I'm so glad I found Tabletop Bookshelf! My order was shipped so quickly and the selections are amazing!
I love doing solo TTRPGs and this was so fun to do with the added tarot deck element!! Highly recommend!!
Me, and my boyfriend have played through it twice. We decided we wanted to try to get into ttrpg's and since neither of us really know how or know anyone that does it we thought this would be a good starting point. We've went through it twice, and really enjoyed it both times, and I see us doing it again
What a compelling engine to tell a gritty noir story and a murder mystery. So much variability keeps it fresh each time, and the prompts for storytelling do just enough to let your creativity fill in the gaps.
Found the layout for shopping overall easy to navigate. I also appreciated that the games included what type of gameplay was expected before purchasing--although, as a newbie, it would be even more helpful if there were a larger explanation on what those types were.
The book itself explained the use of the items, but a deeper insight before buying might help potential shoppers understand what tools are necessary for the game. That said, the process of learning/getting the necessary materials was a minor obstacle to how much fun the game ended up being.
Loved the diversity of content! I ended up playing twice, because the time I was halfway finished, I had a better idea for a character. I was a big fan of the endless options of outcomes, clues, locations, and the ability to use one's imagination if that suited you more than cards/dice. The game as a whole has an emphasis on personal creativity, whatever that means to you as a player; there was no pressure to write a 20-page essay for every round if I wasn't feeling a certain scenario, which really helped me stick through to the end. This was my first experience playing anything like this, and it definitely encouraged me to try other games out.
I would highly recommend this game to anyone else wanting to dip their toes into this format of gaming.
These cards are such a joy to admire.The high quality also makes them easy to shuffle and deal.
Gorgeous, high quality trifolds. The outer case is a similar, sturdy cardstock and can neatly fit the sequel expansion with it. Great opportunity to enjoy a solo rpg that can be replayed and enjoyed in multiple ways each time.
