Short DescriptionDesigned by Angela Washko, facilitated by the game's developer. After a wild party, players awaken as leaders tasked with guiding a community through a mass crisis.
Long DescriptionAt a time with increasing public dissolution with politicians and their ability to represent constituents, "The Council is in Session" is a tabletop roleplaying game that simulates alternative systems of governance in a time of crisis. This GM-less TTRPG invites players to imagine and perform a scenario in which they are empowered to rethink a community’s governance while responding to musical cues and instructional prompts passed down through custom rulebooks.
