"Jiangshi: Blood in the Banquet Hall" is an innovative role-playing game that weaves a rich narrative tapestry of family, culture, and survival in 1920s America. Players immerse themselves in the lives of a Chinese family running a restaurant in Chinatown, navigating the dual threats of racism by day and the supernatural menace of jiangshi—hopping vampires—by night. This collaborative storytelling RPG emphasizes the struggle of maintaining a family business and community bonds amidst societal backlash and nightly terror. With elements of horror, drama, and occasional humor, the game encourages players to explore deep, compelling stories across three generations of family members from Guangdong province. The box set includes 12 eight-sided dice, one white four-sided die, restaurant and jiangshi themed cards, character sheets, spirit papers, and comprehensive rule and scenario books to enrich gameplay.
