Embroil yourself in royal court intrigue
Uneasy Lies the Head is a GM-less tabletop RPG where everyone plays a member of a tumultuous royal court. Each player chooses a playbook to define their character, and weaves a web of alliance and animosity with the other players.
It comes as an 80 page book that contains all the rules you need to play. No game-master is required to play. The game can be played as a one-session game, or as multiple sessions linked into a campaign where everyone will:
- Plot and scheme as the antagonistic members of a royal court
- Embody titles that let you rule as the monarch, love as the paramour, wage war as the claimant, pray as the absolve, and more
- Prepare divisive plans to spread rumors, enact laws, or host festivities, and then bide your time until they unfold
