Played this with a group of strangers at our local library and it was absolutely fabulous! I think every single person at the table ended up being really stunned by how deep the story was that we had stumbled into. Great game!
this comment made my day!! i'm so glad you all had such a wonderful time with it and i'm thrilled to hear that this game ended up at a cool li'l library event; thank you so much for taking the time to say something and i'm so glad you made and found such a wonderful story!! 💖💖
I love this game. I introduced it to a place called CRS: Crisis Residential Services, where I was staying for psychiatric purposes. I was told it was one of the best resources they'd been given for stress release. Everyone had tons of fun and got out of their shells in ways the workers had never seen.
Just had a lot of fun playing this with my friends! The cards quickly told us who was the wizard's favorite (and least favorite) and helped us craft an intrigue rich story with a satisfying ending. I already look forward to playing again!
Had an excellent time with this as a solo journaling experience. A tweak for solo I used is to insert the Ace of Spades 1/4 of the way from the top of the deck. This still developed the story well, especially since I was the only player, and probably increases replayability even more.
Some notes on my session: the story developed wonderfully with a full-fledged arc and a sense of growing unease as the secrets of the wizard and the tower are uncovered. Your character's backstory develops on the fly, leading to a final catharsis.
This is an extremely satisfying storytelling game I'll keep returning to. An absolute gem.
thank you so much for leaving such a kind comment!!!! i'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the game!! the ace of spades placement tweak is an excellent idea, too, so thank you for sharing it!! 💖💖
