3 roles
The ringleader of the night. Kevin is nostalgic, obsessive, and earnest to a fault. His deep love for board games—and his desire to recapture the “good old days” with his friends—blinds him to how unhinged he sounds. Starts off as the enthusiastic nerd of the group, but gradually slides into full-blown cultish mania. Needs strong comedic timing, the ability to deliver exposition with manic conviction, and a willingness to lean into physical comedy as the game night spirals out of control.
The skeptic and voice of reason. Sasha is sharp, sarcastic, and protective of the group’s sanity. While Kevin obsesses and Quinn drifts, Sasha grounds the scene with biting humor and exasperated reactions. Quick wit and dry comedic delivery are key. Must balance sarcastic banter with emotional beats, as Sasha is ultimately the one who challenges Kevin when things go too far.
The lovable goofball. Quinn is carefree, impulsive, and always a little behind the conversation. He’s easily distracted, doesn’t always understand what’s happening, but throws himself wholeheartedly into whatever Kevin suggests—whether that’s sorting game pieces or climbing shirtless onto the ritual table. Needs strong physical comedy instincts, a playful presence, and the ability to make the audience laugh and sympathize with his oblivious loyalty.
