    This document provides the rules for a role-playing game where players take on roles within a failing organization. The objective is to avoid responsibility and pass blame to other players/departments as the organization declines. Players start with a number of credibility tokens and must either pass blame to another player or accept blame themselves, which risks losing credibility tokens if they flip the blame coin and get tails. The game ends when any player runs out of tokens, with the player holding the blame coin taking sole responsibility for the organization's failure according to the other players.

    The Rumors are False.

    Everything is Fine!
    Wrtten By. E.T. Smith, Layout by David Schirduan

    A role-playing game about avoiding responsibility and passing the blame.

    You are the officers, executives, or cabinet of a ship, corporation, presidency, or other fractious, failing,
    doomed institution. You know it’s going to fail but the effort required to turn things around sounds like a
    pain. Also looking for a new job is a miserable prospect. So instead you’ll try to keep your job as long as
    possible while passing the consequences of your failures onto others.

    You will need: A. Pass the Blame, describing why it's actually the
    responsibility of the department to their left.
    □ 3 to 6 players
    They lose one Credibility token. The newly
    □ 1 "Blame" coin accused player makes the same choice: Pass or
    □ 30-60 "Credibility" tokens Accept.
    □ A place for all players to sit in a circle
    B. Accept the Blame, describe how they address
    Start by describing your institution. What are the it, then take and flip the Blame Coin.
    goals of your organization? How are you failing ▶ Heads: the problem is solved cleanly.
    those goals? What recent change caused this ▶ Tails: the problem is solved, but the player
    decline? loses two Credibility for being associated
    with it. If they fixed it, they caused it, right?
    Each player describes their “department” or role in
    the institution. They take a number of Credibility If a problem gets back to the player who first
    tokens equal to 15 minus the number of players. declared it, they must Accept it, flip the Blame
    E.g. with 5 players, each player takes 10 tokens. coin and lose an additional point of Credibility for
    being unable to weasel out.
    The player who last worked...
    To continue, the player who was last accused
    1. Picks up the Blame coin and describes a presents a new problem, and so on.
    problem with the institution
    2. And points an accusing finger at another player, The institution finally fails completely when any
    describing why the fault lies with their department runs out of Credibility. Whichever
    department! department has the Blame coin when this
    happens goes down on record as the cause of it
    An accused player has two options: all.

    At this point every department (except the one


    with the Blame coin) gets to make one final
    statement, unburdened by facts, describing their
    own selfless efforts to turn things around and how
    the player with the Blame coin sabotaged them at
    every turn.
