Freelancers review: "A delightfully silly and unusual fantasy adventure"

The Freelancers box on a wooden table beside the game board, tokens, and more as people play.

Freelancers from Plaid Hat Games is a tongue-in-cheek fantasy board game that tasks a party of adventurers with a variety of quests. Simple enough, right? There have been plenty of RPGs that get quite silly. But there are few and far between that get quite silly while also requiring an application to run through fully voiced scenarios with wild NPCs, have procedurally generated quests depending on which characters are on the adventure and which choices they've made, and include fast-paced decision-making in the moment that can seriously swing the outcome of a given encounter.

It's easily the most unusual tabletop game I've played this year, and I mean that in the most positive way possible.
