Looking to run a quick demo at your store? These packages contain materials for demos you can run in 15-20 minutes. They provide an excellent way to teach (or learn) all the key basics of the game and setting in a quick, fun manner.
Most of these demos are meaty enough that they can be extended to as much as an hour, if you want to offer a more substantive demo experience. We also offer multiple seasons of the Cypher Play program of organized play, each of which gives you enough material to run weeks’ worth of games!
We offer a free Demo Resource Kit, filled with physical items that support your demo events. Order it just like other promo materials!
