Homunculi - Tiny Servants of Evil • 2019 rpg

Martin Pickett • no link

You are homunculi, tiny human facsimiles possessed by dead spirits. You carry out evil deeds of dark magic for your master. You have some faint memories of being human.

Shuffle a pack of cards and draw five each. These represent your memories.

Oldest player starts.

Turn sequence:
- Reveal the top card of the deck. This is the task. 
- Going clockwise players reveal a memory, in suit if possible.
  All memories in suit: highest performs the task. 
  Non-suit memories: lowest non-suit performs the task.
- Resolution:
  Memory higher than task: A good memory, reinforced (place task under memory). While reinforced it cannot be lost. 
  Memory equal or lower: A bad memory, discard it.
  Memory not in suit: A bad memory, discard it and choose:
    - Discard a reinforcement or another memory
    or
    - Give a reinforced memory to another homunculus (explain why it was theirs all along)
- Describe the task and the memories.
- Put discards in pile for reshuffle.
- Active player draws another task to start the next turn.

Game ends when either:
One homunculus reinforces all remaining memories: they break free and escape from the master.
One homunculus loses all their memories: they become a mindless servant of evil, destroying the others.
