Rogue Draft
What is Rogue Draft?
A rogue-lite take on fantasy basketball. Everyone drafts a roster of 5 NBA players, picking one of three randomly offered players each round. A Tone Setter decides the scoring rules for the draft, and optional Quests and Coaches add bonus twists. Once the games are played, your players’ real stats are scored — highest total wins.
Live vs. Casual

Everyone drafts together in real-time. 30 seconds per round. Participants lock-in options one at a time.
