Players take on the roles of a comic book CREATIVE TEAM – the Editors, Artists, Cover Artists, and Writers – while simultaneously being the EXECUTIVE TEAM of their own Comic Book Company. Over the course of the game, players cooperatively craft issues of a comic book run (or multiple comic books in a shared universe), building up the continuity of their titles across years and possibly decades. ISSUES! combines aspects of story games, RPG character generation, and comic book lore – creating a unique game where players try to build a full continuity for a super-hero or team. No artistic skills are needed, but the game is played using index cards and markers and does require writing and some drawing.
