TOURIST
HOLE

an anytime, anywhere game

exploring the weird organs

along America's asphalt arteries

ALL WHO WANDER
ARE LOST

You are tourists, lured by brochures and billboards to the surreal mind flaying of American roadside attractions. Each of these curious tourist traps is – in actuality – the feeding tendril of some big soul-consuming void under all of us. 

Stuck inside, wandering, you'll tell stories abou the discoveries you make. With each discovery comes an opportunity to improve your hand of dice.

The game progresses as survivors build up little menageries of souvenirs and scars, while the doomed draft their final postcards home and invent new tourists traveling these cursed highways.

LOSE YOURSELF

TO FIND YOUR WAY

Tourist Hole can tell its story within 45 minutes, or it can fill an entire evening of calls for "one more round." Start when you want, stop when you want. A complete experience all the time.

I think of it as the roleplaying equivalent of a party game. I think of it as a "shape of water" game. I think you'll love having it in your atlas of weird destinations.
