Im gonna make an arrogant statement real quick
Final Bid is a better game than Fiasco, straight up. They have the same niche (game for emotional cinematic one shot stories) but Final Bid is significantly more dramatic and less random.
And i am a little bitter Final Bid has 1/10000th the success
And for the record I don't even think Fiasco is a bad game. There's lots of bad ttrpgs. Fiasco is solid, I've had fun with it before and could again.
Its just a little too reliant on rolling charts for my tastes, and Final Bid replaces all of that randomness with setting your own personal stakes
Feb 1, 2026 01:24Final Bid is a game where you cannot win unless you throw away everything
And in that case, did you really win?
...Yes, you did because you get to tell us how the story ended. You just had to suffer to get there. And your character may not be alive or have suffered a fate worse than death.
