THE ZONE RPG

Amazing, everything I could have wanted.

Had a great time. Played it twice. At 2 and 3 player counts and it was fantastic. Crafted a unique story both times and enjoyed the cinematic storytelling. Excited to get it to the table at larger player counts. Highly recommend this one

It was such a a fun experience to bring me and friends together. We all love to play ttrpg, but we're mainly experienced in high-prep high-crunch games, so a game like the zone that requires to preparation while still having the focus be storytelling has been a lot of fun. The zone was a much needed break from complexity for our group. It's simple and encourages us to embrace the spooky vibes.

I enjoy how replayable it is and I always get asked to bring it to board game nights and suites a big group of players who enjoy different type of games

Great material, rules are really ironed out and easy to understand. The cards and art are easily on the top-tier of all my games. Overall, a great buy I'm very happy with.

I would've loved a French translation, mainly for my game buddies. English is sadly a big step to go over for some of them, preventing me from assembling a group. But I don't despair.

You created a great game Raph, and you campaign management is to be praised. I'll definitely keep an eager eye on your next projects.

Lovely artwork, fun concept, good quality materials.

I haven't actually played it, but its been super fun to read through and imagine playing. :D Love the ideas, and the evolving nature of the game.

Also, I was recently talking to a teammate, Beverly Freeman, and she mentioned knowing you and this game! That was exciting! :D

The components are really high quality and looks great. I appreciate having a nice, unique, physical copy of the game, but I also love having the online version available for free to just jump in with friends remotely.

Amazing game! Simple and approachable for newbies, but great potential for deeper play. This is the game I'd use to introduce other adults to RPGs.

I’ve only had the chance to play once with my fiancé but it was so much fun! We are already planning on getting a few more friends to join us. The cards are so beautiful, I love that it comes with that book of mutations for when you can’t think of an idea, and I really like the book of other scenarios to play out. I can see my fiancé and I playing this a lot in the future. I love that it can be more sci-fi or horror, depending on how you play it.

We have ran a couple games and honestly it gets out of hand really quick and you have a lot of fun. One of the best games I've played in a while.

Such a cool game!

An excellent collaborative TTRPG, with exceptional quality components. imaginative and most of all fun. Highly recommended!

Super well designed . When you set the ambiance the game makes it easy to get immersed and the horror really comes to life.

Beautiful game. The only issue is self-imposed: the cards look so nice with holofoil that I put them in sleeves. so now they do not fit in the slim box. If the box was as deep as the tarot cards are wide it would be easier to customize an insert.

But the game itself is very good!

Great art and suspense

The coolest idea for a shared story RPG! And gorgeous artwork!

I played this game with some friends and I highly recommend this game if you enjoy co-operative storytelling.

Our group of veteran and newbie ttrpg players all absolutely loved playing. Played three games our first week with the game and everyone had an amazing time with it.

Came fast, the cards are high quality with great design. I am super excited to be able to play with my friends.

If you have a group of D&D friends, this might be the game for you. If you have a group friends you have casual game nights with, hard pass on this. It’s a little too open on the role-playing aspect so you need to play with people that want to role play. Like Charades is only for people that like to act things out? This is only for those that really want to role play which wasn’t super clear - including ‘RPG’ in the title is not enough.

I was fortunate enough to sit on a panel with Raph a few years back. By the end of the talk I was eager to buy his game, and I'm glad I did! It's one of the most atmospheric titles I've ever encountered, and that's coming from someone with a literal PhD in game studies.

The game is beautifully designed and has so many elements that allow for endless replays!

I play a lot of games, and own a game design company. So let me say that this is one of the most original and well-designed games I’ve seen in a long time. And I love the simplicity of the setup and gameplay…makes it really easy to onboard friends into it, even if they haven’t played RPGs before. Love it!

Beautiful art, great game to play when you want to explore the Troy genre without all the group secrecy, weeks of planning and books to rummage through. The theme is perfect as well. Highly recommend.

godo

GORGEOUS set, easy to pick up, and endless variety. Zero regrets

The artwork for this game is amazing, and the feel of the cards and even the manuals is great. It’s so easy to play and has immense replay value. I can’t wait to play it again!

Came quickly and in perfect condition!

We played The Zone as a zero-prep one-shot when one of our players didn't show up. It was a great game. The moves are well thought out to keep everyone involved. It's easy to accidentally slip back into GM mode and pepper some details around without invoking "take stock", but that doesn't do much harm.

The Zone makes a few promises. It claims to be a zero prep GMless game that can be played, even with all new players, in 4 hours. With The Zone it's actually all true. The art is all truly incredible and whoever decided to include the stickers is my new favorite person.

I've played The Zone once online with friends but holding it in hand and getting to look through the cards is very very nice and tactile and really lends itself to getting into your character. All in all it's very fun, I've run it for my house twice and we've always had a great time.
