Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small-time capers gone disastrously wrong – tales of powerful ambition and poor impulse control. There will be big dreams and flawed execution. It won’t go well for them, to put it mildly, and in the end it will probably collapse into a glorious heap of jealousy, chaos, and recrimination. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and things will generally not go well. Players will choose between four different scenarios at the table and play one of them based on group consensus: Camp Death, Home Invasion, News Channel Six, or Touring Rock Band.
