What gets me excited about Classrom Deathmatch as a player is the pick up and play aspect of the game. No long prep time. No character creation. No world building. Of course, you can do all this stuff if you want to, but at it’s heart CDM has a kind of board gameish quality that lets you just sit down and play it. Draw a random character and weapon and start playing! You can jump right into the action without having to worry about a bunch of set up!
The other thing I’m really enjoying is that the game is finite. by that I mean it has an end that you are actively working toward. Classroom Deathmatch is a competition, and each player is working to become the winner. As characters start to die off and are replaced and the number of living students quickly plummets, loyalty, betrayal and double-crosses become a real part of the game. Knowing who you can trust becomes just as important as having a good weapon! Because the game has a definite ending, players can work together to create a finale that is action-packed, meaningful and satisfying. Many ongoing games I’ve played in just loose steam and end without any real conclusion. In Classroom deathmatch all the players are working toward the games conclussion, and a campaign always ends with a bang!
As you can see I’m still in sales pitch mode! There’s just 3 more days to preorder Classroom Deathmatch and receive the PDF of the game for absolutely free! Preorder here!
