Sometimes it is a chore to work your way through a rpg rulebook, but the rules for Fiasco by Jason Morningstar were a delight to read. Every segment starts with a quote taken from some 'fiasco'movie.
The layout and artwork add to the overal feel of this book.

I've heard fiasco decribed as "coen brothers: the rpg" and that is what you get. The idea is that the players create a story that devolves to misery. think movies like "Uturn"or "the way of the gun". seems like an interessting game and I can't wait to give it a try

Fiasco is one the best games I've ever played. This companion isn't quite as a good as the rules themselves, which are paragons of clarity and effective design, but it's still a valuable addition to anybody who wants to do more with Fiasco. This isn't a philosophical laser that slices through Fiasco to expose the One True Way to use the game (that'd probably be impossible), but it's a useful collection of anecdotes, tips, advice for designing new playsets, and interviews with people using Fiasco for education, writing, and improv.
