The players are the characters from Dork Tower, John Kovalic’s comic. They are at a dreary little game convention called GloomCon, where they are playing a game where they are being pursued by a monster. Players do not want to be caught by the monster. If the Monster catches you, you lose, and the game ends – everyone else has won. The board represents the convention area of a hotel, composed of 25 rooms separated by 42 doorways. Players will be standing and bending during this game.
