A Devir game we have been playing on repeat over our gaming nights for a while is "Rock Hard 1977" -- would you call it a rock star simulation exercise? A board game?

Developed by Jackie Fox, bassist of the 1970 proto-punk band the Runaways, it's an amazing achievement that has been winning Fox and Devir awards since its release. MERCH IS STILL AVAILABLE!
