Shellback
A story roleplaying game about the unexplained disappearance of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier in 2006. Players explore the six days when the ship vanished from radar and surveillance, uncovering events hidden by sealed records and military redactions. The game requires no preparation and supports three or more players, using a deck of poker cards and tokens to track drama points. Play length increases with the number of participants.
