This is slightly meatier than a nano-game but you should still be able to complete it within 2-3 hours with around 5 or 6 players; it takes an amount of preparation and world-burning though, so make sure your players are up for that kind of activity.

A rules-lite RPG based on "Inception". Players portray highly illegal con men who steal information from unsuspecting people while they sleep. The Mechanic uses the diceless tension building of a Jenga tower. This tower represents the stability of The Dream. The Dream takes place in The Architects mind (one of the PCs), and he controls all of it. He can alter the weather, the physics, the landscape and the buildings. |
