[ The plague spread too fast. Everybody was infected, ]
[ the city gates were sealed. You assist those that ]
[ remain and prevent the illness to escape the walls. ]
Gather:
- 2-6 players
- Index cards
- Map of a medieval city
- Black markers
You:
- are infected, write on an index card: how is your Skin? Eyes? Voice?
- wear a mask, it makes you (write one): SCARY, TRUSTED, SAFE, WEALTHY
Flash out significant locales on the map,
then the sickest between you takes it.
HOME, PAIN, HOPE, FAMILY, AMBITION, UNREST
Write each on a separate index card:
then everybody chooses one.
That's your initial TONE.
Use it to:
- Set scenes and introduce conflict
- Ask each other questions / give answers
- Say how the PLAGUE spreads
[ Good questions: ]
[ - What / who was this [place] / [person]? ]
[ - What's [at risk] / [at odds with my knowledge]? ]
[ - What / who [brought] / [was affected by] the plague here? ]
[ - What's really [going on] / [wrong] here? ]
[ - What's been done to counteract the plague? ]
Act in turns (when you're up choose one). The PLAGUE:
- CHANGES: Exchange [your TONE] / [the map] with another player.
- FESTERS: Blacken something on [the map] / [your index card].
- EVOLVES: Add something to [your TONE].
[ Play to find out [your end] / [how you evolve]. ]
