What it is about

Step into the damp, crumbling shoes of a medieval outlaw and experience the epic adventures of a man forced to wait for three days hungry in the cold and dark. Not So Merry Men is a solo journaling designed to allow you to experience the de-romanticised reality of living (and probably dying) as a real medieval outlaw. The gameplay builds on a familiar foundation of GM-less card-based event generation, but with the added twist of needing to 'Predict Your Prospects' each round. This involves continually playing games of 'higher or lower' with yourself that determines the direction and severity of events as they happen. Playing Not So Merry Men This game is designed to be played on your own. With a regular deck of cards. And something you can write in. It takes a couple of hours to play. And should be completed in one session ideally.
