Viva la QueerBar is a slice-of-life story game (TTRPG) about a queer bar (or queer café) and the team who runs it. It's a game about the pleasures and struggles of being part of a queer community.
All you need to play is this zine, a regular deck of playing cards (52 cards), and 1-5 people to play with you. No preparation necessary – just start playing!
The rules of Viva la QueerBar are very simple: At first you read the short instructions out loud together. The text has our recommended consent and safety tools already built-in. During that introduction, you also choose the rough setting of your QueerBar.
Then the core game starts: You take turns drawing a playing card and looking up the question associated with it in the random tables. Over the course of the game, your individual QueerBar, your main characters, some side characters, and details about the surroundings of the QueerBar develop through your answers to the questions.
In the end, all main characters answer: What is your most important wish for the future of the QueerBar?
