Press — Someone Has Died

Press

Smithsonian Magazine named Someone Has Died one of the ten best board games of 2018.
Actualol named Someone Has Died one of the ten best party games of 2018 and bestowed upon us his Seal of Actualove!
Actualol: “What I love is that the whole game is based around one story…you're really just buying into this fun story that you're creating together. It feels a bit like playing an indie role-playing game like Fiasco or something, but with much less of the pressure.”
Love Thy Nerd: “By structuring the arguments around a purpose, [Someone Has Died] begs for improvisation and role play that breathes life into those passionate arguments.”
There Will Be Games: “Some games pay off in the feeling of a strategy coming together or the thrill of the improbable just-can't-lose roll of the dice. Someone Has Died pays off in belly laughs and smiles, which is a fantastic currency to deal in.”
Sprites & Dice: "Someone Has Died [forces] you to take a ridiculous theme and play it out into its own story, and the potential for laughter is incredibly high."
IndieHangover: "Someone Has Died is a beautifully clean tabletop game that uses whimsical art and hilariously weird elements to promote creative storytelling and fun character building."
