This is a game of braggarts, liars, and wagers

This one time...a group of friends got together for drinks after decades apart. As tequila is wont to do, the stories started flowing from each and every glass. Soon, the friends were regaling each other with the grandest--and absolutely, positively, unimpeachably true--adventures. As it turned out, four of the friends had been beheaded. Two of them twice. Three friends had (separately) located the Lost Treasure of Munchausen on the dark side of the sun, one while carrying his own head in a sack. Two had bested the great Medusa, one while bedding her and the other while actually stone.

Determining the most unforgettable of the exploits proved to be impossible, until a helpful server with a tray full of drinks suggested a wager...and volunteered to hold the pot until the winner was determined. Alas, when the winner was found, the waitress was not.

And so, the friends agreed to meet each year on the same same day and share their escapades. From the day of the Great Waitress Heist forward, they had rules for their wagers to determine the winner, who was then obligated to buy the drinks.

This One Time is about telling outrageous stories that are absolutely true in every way. It uses a deck of playing cards and a few tokens to help tell the tales and determine a winner. It can be played with a group or solo.

This One Time is a hack of I Went to Japan Once by James Lennox-Gordon and is partially inspired by The Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchausen. It uses the Dicier font by Speak the Sky.
