The Dance and the Dawn
A fairy tale romance game for 3-5 players¸ with its own setting centered on the imagery of chess. The player characters are all Ladies at the Ice Queen's court in search of their One True Love among several Lords¸ and each Lady is represented by a chess piece with associated traits. The Narrator controls the Queen¸ Duke¸ and Lords. Play is divided into three dances¸ with duels as potential interludes between the dances. During each dance¸ the Ladies move with their partner around the board and exchange questions to gain the Lord's favor and understand their past. At the end of the game (in 1-2 hours real time)¸ each Lady must pick a Lord and find if it is their One True Love. - A description fromdarkshire.netwith kind permission of John H. Kim
