Environment
You are a traveller passing by the Calirum Desert. One night, you found a merchant that invited you to play the Song of Calirum, the most famous card game on the entire Desert. The night is calm and you decide to give that stranger a chance. But be careful, the Calirish have a very strange sense of humour.
The Theme
You start with nothing on a long journey of awareness. The player won't have any resource at the start but as time goes on he starts getting more and more resources to a point when they do more harm than help.
Game Objective
The objective of the game is to find a path and complete the challenges requested by this path. How do you find a path, you ask? Well, that is up to you to figure out.
Gameplay and General Rules
This is a game of choices. The player is presented with an event and a series of possible choices. The player will pick the most advantageous option regarding his/her strategy. This is also a game about managing a finite pool of resources and we are not only talking about physical resources (like gold or food), but also about psychological resources (like sanity or charisma).
In this representation of the board, you can see various game elements.
A: the event
B: the choices: selecting these choices is the only action the player can do.
C: your capacity: these pebbles show you how much inventory space you have left.
D: your resources: you can see here all the resources you gathered in your adventure.
E: The rule book: if you have any doubt during the game.
