No Thank You, Evil! is a tabletop game of creative make-believe, adventure, and storytelling. In No Thank You, Evil!, each player creates a character based on a couple of cool, descriptive, imagination-firing traits. The Guide (a special role often played by a parent or older sibling) presents a dilemma, and the players set off on an adventure of the imagination. Along the way they use their character's special skills, companions, and equipment to overcome obstacles. Maybe you'll rescue a friend from Dragonsnot Falls, save the world's biggest adventure park from an ancient curse, or fix Whizbang's broken time machine before it's too late! Whatever you choose, you're sure to solve mysteries, gain friends, confront bad guys, and have a wild adventure!
Whereas conventional board games constrain players' actions, No Thank You, Evil! sets kids' imaginations free: Their options are limited only by their creativity. Together, the players create a story as they work together to make their way through the adventure!
The game system is based on the Cypher System used in Monte Cook’s Numenara and The Strange RPGs and intended for families with children from ages 5 and up, and features a tiered ruleset that allows players to add complexity as the children grow older. The design intent is to allow older children as young as 11 or 12 take over as gamemaster after playing just a few games.
The game uses large-size character sheets, cards and colorful tokens to make the game mechanics more accessible and less math-intensive, while still allowing for a broad variety of character types and playing styles.
Games of No Thank You, Evil! will typically play in less than an hour, with longer games and campaigns possible as well.
