Ma Nishtana

Hello! We are Gabrielle Rabinowitz (@GabrielleRab/gabriellerab.itch.io) and Ben Bisogno (@kyoto_ben/kyotoben.itch.io). We are cousins who created the Passover tabletop roleplaying game Ma Nishtana: Why is This Night Different?

Ma Nishtana is an extension of how we practice Passover at home. We sing, eat, and play together. After the Seder one evening we found ourselves retelling the story through different perspectives. Through role-play we found ourselves becoming deeply invested in the narrative. 

We aim to share the experience of Passover as we understand it: a venue to remember the power of ritual and the importance of collective action.

This is a game for Jews, non-Jews, and the Jew-ish. It's a story for everyone.
