The Revenant Society: Caixa Deluxe

I've never played an RPG where dying is the setup instead of the fail state, and the time loop mechanic had our whole table arguing about who remembered what. The deluxe box itself is hefty, and the art on the loop tracker makes it easy to see how many resets we've burned.

The deluxe box set's components feel sturdier than I expected, and the included loop tracker makes running each cycle way smoother. I've only played two sessions so far, but solving your own murder while the clock resets is such a clever hook that my group already wants to schedule another night.

The rulebook is much more substantial than I expected for a box set, and the loop mechanic actually makes every session feel urgent. I've already run two nights of it with my group, and the death-mystery setup keeps everyone arguing over clues instead of checking their phones.
