WHAT IS RUBICON OVERDRIVE?

Rubicon Overdrive combines the elements of tabletop game, storytelling, role play, and craft hobby into a unique experience.

It is designed to be very simple to learn, and grow with you in a modular manner over a series of episodes.

WHY DID WE CREATE IT?

While there are many amazing RPGs and tabletop games out there, we felt that none were doing a good job catering to the needs of a 9+ audience.

Our goal is to create an exciting experience that teaches the fundamentals of storytelling and hobby creativity to a younger audience.

WHO IS IT FOR?

Rubicon Overdrive is designed for kids 9+ but is of course excellent for anyone with a sense of storytelling adventure!

The miniatures do contain small parts so we always recommend adult supervision for anyone younger than 14, or any individuals who have a tendency to place inedible objects in their mouth.

HOW MANY PLAYERS DO I NEED?

Rubicon Overdrive works as a single player game, but really shines in a family or games group setting, with some players acting as a challengers, and others taking on the role of storyteller.

WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?

Episode 1 contains everything you need to get started with Rubicon Overdrive, including miniatures, rules, cards, dice, measuring tools, and everything else.

Once you have played through Episode 1, the game expands further with future Episodes, starting with Episode 2.

Rubicon Overdrive has been designed to be easy to learn, with additional rules and concepts being added gradually with each Episode. If you are new to role playing games, progressing Episode to Episode and following the playthrough guides is a great way to get started. If you are already familiar with this type of game you can pick up all of the available Episodes and merge them from the start.

WHERE CAN I GET IT?

Each Episode of Rubicon Overdrive will be available directly from our web store.

We will also have boxes available for purchase at our in person events.

WHEN CAN I GET IT?

Episode 1 and Episode 2 are available right now!

Season 1 of Rubicon Overdrive will be released over the course of the year as a series of 6 Episode boxes.

You can also purchase individual models, paint sets, and books through our store.
