Read the full game description

No Thank You, Evil! is a cooperative role-playing game designed so children and adults can tell stories together. Players create heroes with an accessible sentence, choose helpful companions and powers, then describe what they do as a Guide presents challenges in the land of Storia. A flexible rules ladder lets younger players use simple traits while older participants add skills and more detailed choices. Dice resolve uncertain moments, but creativity, conversation, and shared problem-solving remain at the center of every adventure.
