CARD SHARK Solo Games
|
A solo roleplaying game system based around a single pack or ordinary playing cards. Using an innovative scene resolution mechanic, the game does not rely on verb-noun tables or continual use of yes-no questioning. The plot builds organically to a climax, punctuated by fights, chases, romantic encounters and attempts on your life. Fights and chases are both played out using a hand of cards from which the player chooses his moves and attacks in a dynamic, exciting and ever-changing game. All that is required is a notebook, a pen or pencil, a single deck of regular playing cards, and imagination. No Day To Die is Card Shark's flagship setting, and others may follow in due course ... |
