When a witch turns 40, her nose suddenly grows long and crooked, adorned with at least one wart. In this game we follow two witch-sisters on their journey towards the big four-o and the inescapable nose. The game approaches its subject, middle class women and their struggles against ticking clocks, with a sharp eye but lots of love. We are in our familiar world of today, but with witches and vampires... and HR consultants. The players explore the lives of the twin sisters Clio and Zoe as they approach 40 in order to help them figure out what to do about family and career.
Midlife Blues 2 – Weird Sisters is a storytelling game with elements of character play. The focus of the game switches back and forth between the two sisters, and the players take turns picking scenes. The players take on different roles and functions throughout the game, but everyone helps ramp up the pressure with escalating references to noses.

You want to take part in warm, humorous storytelling where the group explores the lives of the two weird sisters and their way to their fortieth birthday. You own the characters in common and you play more for smiles that warm you all the way through than for thigh-slapping punchlines. Not a difficult game.
