Remember Frankie?
A downloadable game
100% of itch funds will be donated to Tabletop Gaymers at the start of each quarter.
Remember Frankie? is a Tom Waits inspired storytelling game about creating a shared history at the crossroads of memory and fiction for 3-4 players. Players will reminisce about an imaginary person using real memories - playfully twisting the facts of their story to create a thematic veil of mystery. Anecdotal stories about Frankie are accompanied by stylized lyrics composed by the other players - breathing life into Frankie’s persona while emphasizing the connection players have to each other.
PDF contains core rules, over a dozen play settings with thematic prompts and randomization charts, game-play dialogue with sample anecdotes from the designer's personal life, campaign song-writing options, and abstract/psychedelic artwork inspired by vintage academic text books.
