Played for you

Ja, Herr und Meister

Rote Edition

This time around in the universe of Kragmorthe we embody the minions of Rigor Mortis, the Dark Overlord, defeated by circumstances or heroes, who must report to the Overlord on their more or less failed missions and present the most outrageous fabrications. One of the players takes on the role of the Dark Overlord, all others are his minions.

Excuse cards in the game are the templates and providers of ideas for the stories that you tell to justify yourself, they are only played to continue the story. Some of the action cards in the game must be played together with such excuse cards, some action cards can be played by themselves. Actions, for instance, are protest, swap hand cards or force someone to discard cards. In your turn you must play a cue card and then end your turn with the action card of Verantwortung zuschieben = Pass the Bucket together with an Excuse card.

The Dark Overlord has complete power and decides if your story is acceptable or if you begin to bore him, or if you did not milk the excuse for all that is was worth, in short, he has all the power and can use it as he likes it. If you are incurring his wrath you are punished with a Vernichtender Blick = Withering Glare. Should you be the unfortunate recipient of three such glares, you are out of the game.

In the variant Ja, Mein Gebieter! you need to survive to the end and win the game with most excuse cards played.

This is a really cute game, it is simply fun to invent excuses, but you must love that kind of game and avoid logical reasoning or looking out for tactic; creative nonsense is the only commodity in this near-role-playing game.
