One Shot to Die Hard

Throw your party into an action movie in this pulse-pounding, single-session adventure inspired by Die Hard.

When a group of mercenaries led by a revenge-seeking criminal mastermind crash the party and take the guests hostage, the adventurers are plunged into their own real-life action movie. Yipee Ki-Yay!
