In GONCHAROV MUST DIE, players take on the roles of any of the seven major roles in Goncharov (1973). They may choose scenes from the movie, scenes created whole cloth for this game, or scenes of their own invention. 

Through playing, players may perform their own version of The World’s Greatest Gangster Film. They will roll dice to achieve what their character desires, using pre-selected stats, to achieve what they want or fail and look the fool.

 There are 12 scenes in the game, one for each hour on the clock. Once the table has played 11, each character must play their final scene. Depending on how they played, they might get their character a happy ending or might find themselves doomed.

Either way, remember: GONCHAROV MUST DIE.

FEATURES

  • AN ALL-STAR CAST: Play as Ivor Goncharov (Robert De Niro), Katya Goncharovna (Cybill Shepherd), Andrey Dadonov (Harvey Keitel), Valery Mikailov (Gene Hackman), Mario Ambrosini (Al Pacino), "Ice Pick Joe" Morelli (John Cazale), Sofia Caterina (Daniela Bianchi), as well as a wide variety of supporting characters!
  • ICONIC NAPLES LANDMARKS: Take advantage of funding from the Italian Tourism Board and set scenes in iconic Napolese locations, such as The Ovo Castle, The Pompeii Ruins, The Bay of Naples, and the infamous San Nicola clocktower...
  • TELL YOUR OWN STORY: Get a chance to rewrite the doomed tale of Goncharov. Explore different character choices, new scenes, and try to see if you can get a happy ending for any of the characters.

Ominous...

This looks fantastic in conception and design. Can I report a small typo?

Thanks so much! And absolutely! 

I'm  looking forward to playing with friends! We all love the film.

Typo - P.9 playbook for Katya Goncharov - looks like the goals for Goncharov got copied over instead of her own goals.

Oops! I think it should still be correct on the character sheets, but for reference, her Goals are:

  • Ensure she will never, ever return to an ordinary life.
  • Help Goncharov become the gangster she once loved.

And I'm glad to hear it! Let me know how it goes!

I can't believe this game flew under my radar in much the same way that Scorsese's 1973 masterpiece has.

Only the real fans know!
