Description
Mad About the Boy is a larp about survivors of a global disaster that killed more than half of humanity; an inexplicable disease killed everyone with a Y chromosome in mere minutes. The surviving women face not only the enormous task of rebuilding society, but also the possible extinction of humanity.
While the graphic novel Y the Last Man by Brian K. Vaughn and Pia Guerra inspired the world of the larp, the game does not use any characters or storylines from the graphic novel. Our story follows a group of women who have applied to an insemination program initiated three years after the disaster. As sperm has become a very precious resource, only a few women will be given this privilege.

Trivia
- Dutch organizers: Polomeus, Anastaszia, Nina and Jane Starz.
- The Dutch run changed the title to "&Eva" to avoid people finding the original manuscript (containing major spoilers) when they searched for the LARP.
