新世紀エヴァンゲリオンRPG NERV白書

User summary:

新世紀エヴァンゲリオンRPG NERV白書 is a card-based role-playing game set in the world portrayed in the media franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion.

An unofficial, fan-translation into English exists.

Game play combines elements of board game mechanics with roleplaying storytelling.

Translator's blurb:

I know the title "Neon Genesis Evangeiion RPG" implies that this is a Role Playing Game, and yes, there are Role Playing elements to it - characters, dice and a story. But I think more accurately, this qualifies as a "Beer and Pretzels" game. For me, the distinction lies in that this is really not an '"open sandbox” experience.
