Please, Kick the Can! cover art

One seeker, up to seven runners, and a single can in a 1990s Korean village. Getting caught is not the end — a teammate boots the can and the whole jail empties at once. Draft a new power every round, from a bamboo helicopter to a fart booster, and settle it in four minutes.

Story

Somebody is "it". Everybody else runs. And in the middle of a 1990s Korean village, a single empty can decides how it ends.

Any runner still free can sprint in, boot the can, and empty the jail in one kick. Everyone gets two seconds of immunity on the way out, and the seeker has to fetch the can back before anyone can be caught again. One good kick undoes four minutes of work. [h2]A new power every round[/h2] Every match deals you a hand of three and you keep one. Ninety-nine cards, thirty-three powers across three tiers, and they do not politely balance each other: a bamboo helicopter that lifts the seeker over the rooftops, a fart booster that fires a runner across the square, a web shot that glues a chase to the ground, an RC car packed with something it should not be packed with. Break open the scrap piles for gold and build a second one mid-match. [h2]The village has its own plans[/h2] The transformer blows and the street goes dark. Rain turns the road slick and the footsteps loud. A patrol drone sweeps its light down the alley,...
