Queen of the Song

Queen Of The Song Haitian children are warned of what lurks below the crystal blue waters, of the beautiful woman with flowing locs, of the voice that entrances humans with her voice. Leave your gold and fine jewelry at home or you just might catch her eye... Unless that is exactly what you want. Play as a human lover propositioning yourself to mighty of the lwa, Mambo La Sirène. Mambo La Sirène is as old as the oceans on Earth. She is the mother of sirens/mermaids, patroness of music, protector of women and children, and keeper of knowledge. The Queen of Sirens will only greet you if you can charm her with your poetry and offerings. Prove your love and earn a trip to her kingdom to serve as her consort. Inspired by Haitian culture and spirituality, Queen of the Song is a  GM-less, one-shot poetry/lyric game for one or two players.The game is based on the Voudo story of the water spirit known by many names. To play, you only need a method to record your poems, 1d6, 52-card deck, and creativity.
