About this board game
The Siblings Trouble is a card-driven, cooperative storytelling game for 2–4 players that creates a complete adventure in about 30 minutes.
Inspired by mysterious places found in your own backyard, it turns the essential ingredients of an RPG into a compact narrative experience. Players head into the wilderness together, leaving the comfort of home behind with a backpack, a sandwich, and a sibling who may be more monster than companion.
The game brings together the pleasures of storytelling, exploration, discovery, treasure, and encounters. Its card-driven format helps shape a shared adventure while leaving room for the group’s own imagination and interpretation.
- Cooperative play for 2–4 players

The Siblings Trouble is designed as an experience in its own right, rather than a simplified beginner version of Dungeons & Dragons. It captures the fun of pen-and-paper games in a short format that works as an ice-breaker, an in-betweener, or a quick adventure to share with friends and family.
Its tone draws influence from Miyazaki, The Goonies, The Hardy Boys, and even Pikmin. The result is a playful invitation to leave the familiar behind and discover what strange, exciting places—and stories—might be waiting just beyond home.
