# board-game-3

* The key word "perhaps" acts as a TODO.

## Overview

* A board game set in Glorantha, a mixed (high/low) fantasy setting.

* Players determine the fate of their clan, leading it to greatness.

* Players are on the inner clan ring so they can decide on what their clan does.

* A game master (GM) describes and manages the environment.

* Players can perform Hero Quests (HQ), explore the map, perform cattle raids and defend against cattle raids.

* Players also will have to deal with unique situations that range from the mundane (a Thane asks for your daughter's hand) to the exotic (a dragonnewt priest comes up to a guard tower and asks to speak to the clan ring). Stories develop depending on how the players deal with them.

* Years go by as the players play.

* Each year is perhaps divided into six seasons:

  * Sea (Spring)

  * Fire (Summer)

  * Earth (Fall)

  * Dark (Winter)

  * Storm (Chaotic)

  * Sacred (Death/Rebirth, 14 days long)

## Setup

* The game is set up in the following order:

  * Clan

  * Clan Members

* Then the game starts in a season.

### Clan

* Players decide on a clan name.

* Players decide on a location of their clan, perhaps randomly - so the GM knows what enemies they have.

* Players decide on their clan's runes.

* Players perhaps decide how their clan came to end up in Dragon Pass.

* Players decide whether their ancestors had slaves.

* Players decide which god(s)/goddess(es) their ancestors worshipped.

* Players perhaps also decide whether they are a warrring or peaceful clan.

### Clan Members

* Players perhaps distribute points/masteries over 5 runes (and put them into the rune slots).

* Players decide how old they are - they may die of old age during the game.

* Players choose a portrait (and put it into the portrait slot).

* Players decide how they are related.

* Players decide whether they have a husband/wife yet, and whether they have kids, and how many (put these into their slots).
