What is Liaison?

Liaison is a tumbling tower game about ladies in love and their quest to escape their marriages so they can run away together. Played using a series of prompts and a block tower, within Liaison you will craft the story of these two ladies and their plan to escape. Whether or not they succeed depends on a combination of luck and skill.

This game wouldn't be possible without the generous help of my bestie, Sam Dunnewold, who has listened to me rant about this game for months, fielded constant Discord messages about it, and offered everything from playtesting to line edits. He has a podcast where he talks about game mechanics with very cool game designers, you should go listen to it.

A huge thank you to my other bestie, Nick Budak, who helped me playtest this game and even playtested it with his partner. He also listened to me talk about it way too much. And to Victor Paiam, for helping me playtest it. May our little ladies rest in peace.
