Everybody at the table thinks his or her character is the coolest, but such measures are so subjective as to be useless for really ruining a friendship! Bricolage provides a firm metric by which, at last, all bragging about How Great My Guy Is can be put to sullen silence.

Bricolage is a game for four or more players, who spend chips to create a character description system on the fly. Descriptions are framed by attributes, which are enhanced by Traits, which in turn are found in source material.

Each player will need a blank index card and a pencil. The group needs a bank of poker chips, stones, beads or pennies (hereafter called 'chips'), more index cards for attributes and bid-tracking, and a fat collection of RPG sourcebooks, novels, comic books or movies for source material.
