Can't believe it has taken me so long to get back and review this great GM Zero game. This game really does work great with no GM, as the characters and narrative moves around the table. The fact that this works and works well would be enough for it to stand out, but in addition to no dedicated Game master this it is truly Zero prep. to play. It manages to pull it of by building a story, like a jigsaw puzzle in which the pieces are all relevant, but their relation only becomes clear as the picture nears completion. The GM zero rules are a framework guiding you from one scene into the next. Those playing will do better and enjoy the game more if they familiarize themselves with the rules and game mechanics before hand. Especially since everyone will get opportunities to direct scenes. Home, Duty, and Survival are all strong themes in the game. Print and play or save a tree and play off the PDF.
