Remember Frankie?
Tell all your secrets, lie about your past, and turn it all into a song.
Remember Frankie? is a storytelling game about creating a shared history at the crossroads of memory and fiction for 3-4 players. Players will reminisce about an imaginary person using real memories - playfully twisting the facts of their story to create a thematic veil of mystery. Anecdotal stories about Frankie are accompanied by stylized lyrics composed by the other players - breathing life into Frankie’s persona while emphasizing the connection players have to each other.
Remember Frankie? requires about 30 minutes to play, a 12-sided die, something to write on, and something to write with. For thematic purposes, players are encouraged to use a small journal or lyric book to house the writings from multiple games. In time, you’ll have an eccentric collection of poetry and prose about Frankie that will paint a collective image of his life and personality.
This game is all about mood which is best crafted in a quiet space where everyone can see and respond to each other’s body language and facial cues. Dim the lights. Play an old record. Create an atmosphere.
