Steven Rhodes Living Well is the Best Revenge

Embrace the delightfully dark, retro-fueled satire of 1970s picture books as you scheme, sabotage, and settle petty scores to prove that living well truly is the ultimate form of payback.

Steven Rhodes: Living Well is the Best Revenge (published by Cryptozoic Entertainment) translates the iconic, darkly humorous art style of artist Steven Rhodes into a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice-rolling card game. Moving away from heavy strategy boards and lengthy setups, this standalone title in the Steven Rhodes game series focuses on rapid risk management, tactical card acquisition, and direct "take-that" player interaction. The primary gameplay objective centers on accumulating score points and revenge tokens: players roll custom dice to acquire hilarious Activity and Revenge cards, building a personal tableau that maximizes prestige while dumping negative effects onto rival players.

The primary mechanical hurdle revolves around managing push-your-luck dice mechanics alongside active player threats. On your turn, you roll a pool of custom dice, choosing which results to bank and which to re-roll to match card costs—but rolling too aggressively risks busting and leaving you empty-handed. Designed for 2 to 6 players aged 14 and up, sessions play out in a swift, high-energy 20 to 30 minutes. To dominate the game, players must balance securing high-value "Living Well" cards for passive point engines against deploying malicious "Revenge" cards that disrupt opponents' dice pools or steal their banked assets. Victory goes to the player who manages their luck with precision, leans into petty rivalries, and ends the game with the most gloriously spiteful scoreboard.
