Someone Has Died - a silly game about serious business

Created by Gather Round Games

Someone Has Died is an improvisational storytelling game that takes one of the coldest and most arduous legal procedures a person can endure and turns it into a gut-busting, baby role-playing game that players of all skill levels can enjoy.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Someone Has Died, Now in it's Second Printing!
almost 5 years ago – Wed, May 15, 2019 at 09:27:46 PM

Hey all, 

 #SomeoneHasArrived once again. After selling out of our first print run in January, we are THRILLED to finally be able to say our second printing is in the warehouse and Someone Has Died is now available for purchase!  

If you've been waiting to get your hands on a copy, want to purchase a copy for a friend, or have ruined your first copy due to excitement and need a replacement, the time has come to visit our store. We do still have a handful of Dirty Decks in stock -- BUT ONCE THESE ARE GONE, THEY WILL BE GONE FOREVER. So if you'd like to expand your will arbitrating horizons, be sure to grab one of those while you can.  

Not to get too technical or too sappy, but this second printing of the game is larger than the first and was funded entirely by sales. The fact that we didn't need to go back to Kickstarter to keep our game in circulation is humbling to say the least. So thank you to all of you who have been with us from the beginning and supported this campaign. We absolutely could not have done this without your support. 

If you'd like to keep up with Someone Has Died shenanigans, you can meet us at conventions listed on our events page or follow us on Twitter, Instagram, & Facebook

Thanks for everything, pals!

xoxo
