Story By Logan Dean and Jess Underhill (1990)
WELCOME TO PERFECTION! Materials Needed:
The town of Perfection, NV is under siege by Paper + Pencils for each player
underground tunneling predators the locals have At least 1d6
named “Graboids”. As a Citizen of Perfection, your Counters or Tokens
goal is to survive the siege (5 rounds) by killing all
of the Graboids before they sink the entire town. # of Citizens # of

the Graboid Master (GM). They run the game and
keep track of the Rounds and Graboid Mutations 6-10 3 4
(see reverse).

The rest of the players are Citizens of Perfection.
The number of players determines how many 16-20 1 6
Citizens each player controls as well as the
number of Graboids they will face.
Players write their Citizens names on a piece of paper as well as one common handheld item
that each Citizen may have with them.

GAMEPLAY
The game is split into Turns and Rounds. Each Round, EVERY CITIZEN takes a Turn. On a
Turn Citizens may move from one area to an adjacent area via the ground and/or take 1
Action (search, climb, attack, etc.) To perform an Action that may have a negative outcome
(shooting, climbing, etc.) Roll 1d6. On a 5-6 the Action is successful.
GRABOID ATTACKS
Moving across the open ground (or within a structure) requires a d6 roll. On a roll of 1-2, a
Graboid appears and attempts to drag the character into the earth. When this happens,
Rock, Paper, Scissors vs the GM is used to determine if the Graboid is successful. Citizens
win draws. Items may be used to grant a Citizen an extra chance at escape if the player can
explain how it is being used to this end. Citizens that escape a Graboid are Injured (Action
success on 6 only, lose RPS draws).
Once all surviving Citizens have taken a Turn, the Round ends.
WEAPONS
Most weapons are effective on the ground when Graboids are exposed. Guns are less
effective from above and ineffective at any range (RNG) outside of their hex.
