A Silly Game About Serious Business By Gather Round Games Someone Has Died is a zany, improvisational party game that places 3–6 players in the middle of a will arbitration. Using unique Identity, Relationship, and Backstory cards, each player must create an increasingly ridiculous case for why they should inherit the contents of the will, while other players poke holes in their story and accusations fly. For example, you might be a talking dog who was the deceased’s roller disco partner—but can you explain how you’re also a visitor from the future, and why this means you deserve the deceased’s collection of bottle caps? The result is a wild ride of persuasion, accusation, and negotiation that’s addictive fun for reluctant roleplayers and lively character actors alike. $24.95 US • £21.99 UK 978-1-7972-0263-1 box with lift-off lid, 5⅝ x 7⅝ x 1¾ in, 163 full-color cards, instructions Rights: W Games/Pop Culture On Sale: August
