In Holding On: The Troubled Life of Billy Kerr, you and your friends play as nursing staff caring for a terminally ill patient, Billy Kerr, who has been given just days to live. As you work together to provide him with the best care possible, you'll uncover a lifetime of memories and be drawn into his troubled past. With each scenario, you'll learn more about Billy and help him confront his deepest regrets. Over 45 to 60 minutes, 2 to 4 players will piece together the puzzle of Billy's life, responding to medical emergencies and gaining his trust. The game's easy-to-learn rules make it accessible to everyone, and its cooperative gameplay encourages teamwork and storytelling. As you experience the extraordinary life of an ordinary person in his final days, you'll be invited to reflect on themes of dying and regret, making for a thought-provoking and engaging gaming experience.
