Love it!
I tried it with 8-10 year olds, rather than explaining the rules of the game to them, and it allowed them to relax and have fun, while getting into the story much more easily afterwards. Great idea!
pretty great! Would be good with a cards-against-humanity type RPG
That'd be cool! I'm actually planning on going through some of the other business card games, there might be a really neat micro system that would be great with this.
