Design Your Destiny: Running Out of Time

From Fail Faster:

What is this? Design Your Destiny: Running Out of Time is an interactive time travel story, multiple games and an activity book all wrapped up in one package. Throughout the story you’ll be asked to play a game using included components, but each game will be broken in some way. The book then provides insights and guidance on ways you could fix these problems. You’ll be asked to implement your own ideas and playtest your version of these games as you try to help our main characters through their story.

After you play each game, you’ll notice that something wasn’t fun about the experience. It might be lack of player decision, or one player having an unfair advantage.
