For many parents, Role-playing Games can be complicated and intimidating, requiring too much time to learn and manage. It’s hard to know where to begin. We’ve reconsidered how an RPG can be played with kids and our simplified rules promote storytelling and imagination over stats and charts.

We’ve included dice, maps, figurines, and everything else you need. Each self-contained story is revealed as you play. There is no need for any preparation or RPG experience. Get ready for unique and unpredictable adventures through creepy dungeons, murky oceans, and unexplored outer space.

Take a break from screens and turn off your devices. Ampersand is entirely analog — just dice, pencils, and a bunch of humans. It’s face-to-face, engaging story telling with cooperative, creative problem solving. Kids will twist their brains, chuckle at mishaps, and triumphantly cheer with every victory.
