The Slow Knife is a game all about revenge. But this is not a game about claiming vengeance down the barrel of a gun. This is a methodical game, all about stripping your enemy of hope until death seems like a mercy.
The only trouble is that you and your friends are the villains.
As a group, you and your friends will come up with a story about how a promising person’s life was ruined by villains of the vilest repute. After establishing the person who was betrayed (The Knife), the group will draw cards from a communal deck and answer questions about their villain. These cards will help establish how The Knife gets back at you.
Inside the deck there are also Act cards to notify you when the next phase of the game begins. Different acts will enact different events and game effects. But once the fourth act arrives, The Knife is ready to claim their revenge.
Don’t know when/where to set you game? Then use one of the playsets! There are three different settings to help get the creative energies flowing. Dive into revolutionary France for The Count of Saint-Lazare; a hard sci-fi moon adventure in Arcadia Prime; a high fantasy world filled with powerful elves in the Court of Arandil.
The Slow Knife comes out in November 2022! Back your copy here!
