It is 1984 and the height of the oil boom. Harrington Oil is the most successful oil company in the state of Texas. Tonight is a lavish birthday party for R.J. Harrington held at his parents' ranch - SouthSpoon. What could possibly spoil such a joyous occasion?
Happy Birthday R.J. lasts for about four hours and is suited to an evening. It is often played over a meal - a finger buffet if possible, to allow guests to circulate and talk in private.
The free introductory pdf file (95 KB) contains an introduction to the game, a list of all the characters, an invitation to send to your guests, a copy of the Perm Creek Town Newsletter - plus details of how to buy the game.
