Introduction
News @ 11 is great when it’s played by a compatible group but it’s the kind of thing I imagine would get a much better reception in a drama club than it would a gaming meetup. It puts a lot of pressure on people to be creative and funny and it doesn’t give a lot of tools to help make that happen. It’s good, don’t get me wrong – the fun is easily worth three stars, and perhaps more if everyone is really feeling it. In terms of fragility though, those stars aren’t so much gold as they are gold foil.
