GONCHAROV MUST DIE

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.
