Busker is a solo game where the player tries to make a living and potentially become famous and appear on one of the big talent shows. After creating a character, the game play consists of several turns (decided by the player) which represent weeks in the characters life. Each week the character can choose to pursue a gig, practice, or recuperate. Each of these has several different potential events and outcomes which are determined semi-randomly once the character chooses how to spend their week. Players should write a narrative for each week as they go perhaps describing the gig in more detail than simply the type. Making some notes about complications and ovations can make the story more interesting.
