What it is about
You have before you a solo journaling guide that will lead your attempts to win The Great and Secret Game, an underground alternate reality contest. You will try to learn the rules of the Great game and avoid getting killed by other players or removed by the shadowy Enforcers for breaking the rules you do not know, as reality itself seems to bend around you. If you win, you will have the ability to change the world as you wish. However, it would be best if you were clear that you will most likely fail and may destroy this universe when you do. During the game, you will roll dice, draw cards from the deck and read their associated events, pull blocks from a jenga tower, place or remove tokens from cards, and write about your experiences in character. Death and destruction is the most likely outcome of this game. If the jenga tower falls, reality collapses around you. If you draw all four Kings, you die; the last King you draw will tell you how. To win, you must draw the Ace of Hearts and remove tokens from it over subsequent days. For a shorter, easier game, place the Ace of Hearts on the top of the deck after you've shuffled it, so it's the first card you'll draw. Please note that although this game may deal with conspiracies and secret organizations, do not use this to further hatred and fear towards any groups existing in the real world. There is enough hatred and distrust in the world as it is. --- The Great and Secret Game: A solo RPG was written by CadejoNegro in 2022.
