Second To Last Stop

Second to Last Stop is a GMless tabletop role playing game for 1-4 players, but at its core it’s a game about exploring grief.  You'll play a passenger who has died, traveling on a vessel until you reach the end. The end can be a heaven, oblivion or the unknown. Build an afterlife and use the time you have to come to terms with the fact that soon your passenger will be gone. This game can be used as a celebration of life, as a time to cry or as time spent creating a cast of characters with your friends. There is no wrong way to play.

You play using a deck of playing cards, excluding the jokers. Each card you draw corresponds to a question which will ask you to describe something about your vehicle, your fellow passengers or yourself. Fill the world around your passengers with little details to make your time traveling beautiful, sinister or bittersweet.

Remember, it’s about the journey, not the destination.

Note:

Feel free to adjust the game to fit how you like to play. Feel free to shuffle two packs together if you want to play with more people or take out cards if you want to speed up the game’s pace. While the rules contain the recommended way to play, I encourage players to change, ignore or add rules if they have an idea for how they’d like to use the game differently.
