Standing at the top of the steep and narrow stairs - hot, sweaty, exhilarated. Feeling thoroughly spent. A night at your favorite club is over. But tonight, the club closes forever. What will you take with you as you descend the stairs for the last time? Descending the Stairs is a storytelling game for 1 to 6 players. It can be played face to face, over video call software, or by forum. Descending the Stairs is about relationships. It focuses on the players and their characters’ subjective impressions of the Club, their history with it, and how that impacts their relationships with others. For the best experience, expect to listen to each other as the world is being built around you, be attentive to what your fellow players are saying, and incorporate their stories into your own answers. In person, playing through the full deck takes 90 minutes to 2 hours. A shorter game can be played by using two-thirds or half of the deck.
