New Year's Eve: Countdown to Chaos

Countdown to Chaos is a fast-paced, poker-inspired RPG for 2–5 players, set during the final hour of a New Year’s Eve party where chaos, drama, and secrets reign. Rumor has it that when the clock strikes midnight, one lucky guest will have their deepest wish granted—but only if they can outmaneuver the competition and take control of the party. With creative storytelling, unpredictable twists, and character-driven mechanics, this game is perfect for players who love strategy as much as hoping for the best, improvisation, and a little bit of drama.

Will you secure the wish—or will midnight leave you empty-handed? Let the countdown begin!

A short, GM-less game that fits perfectly into that final hour of the year—or any other moment when you have some fun people, a deck of cards, and a bit of time available.

The convenient one-page (plus a second page for some handy tables—but who’s counting?) PDF is ready to print and has all the rules you need. Just add some imagination, a deck of cards, and invite some people to join in on the fun.
