Despots & Doohickeys

I had a dream last night, about a game called Despots & Doohickeys’. So here’s a hella depressing brain fart of a micro game for these dystopian times. You just need a d4 and a d6!

This is obviously a joke. Go build communities and care for one another. Persevere. Times will get better eventually.

Doohickey

You’ve got a Doohickey. There are many like it, but this one is yours.

Pick a despot to shoot:

  1. Oligarch
  2. Dictator
  3. President
  4. CEO

You’re executed for murder. Roll a d6:

  1. Nothing changes
  2. Nothing changes
  3. Nothing changes
  4. Nothing changes
  5. Nothing changes
  6. Roll again

Rolling ten 6s in a row means some little things might just change for the better. Maybe. Possibly. Probably.
