Magewroth

Magewroth is a game about two powerful mages trying to destroy each other. Players take turn drawing tarot cards, each corresponding to different story-building prompts and questions. After answering each prompt, the players attack each other using d6 dice, reducing their hit points accordingly. Whomever is dropped to zero hit points first is defeated, but that isn't the only way to win the game; some cards will end the duel immediately upon being drawn, while others will impose a draw or other penalty on the player who drew it. Narrative control is constantly traded back and forth between players, especially at the end of each duel. The central theme of the game is the destruction of the self through the destruction of the other, and vice versa. The rules encourage more dramatic storytelling, without narratively limiting the players. Several rule variants are included in the last pages, meant to inspire the exploration of different avenues of play.
