I Have the High Ground is a short collaborative tabletop role-playing game for two players about slow tension duels that occur before any damage or blows are struck. The moves include thrust, feint, and parry in an ordered rock-paper-scissors triangle to score points without violence but instead structure narration of dramatic events between characters with similar traits like rival rivals who compete through the high ground mechanic for first choice on character creation sections such as cape rubric or superior fashion preferences. The game is GMless (general manager) and genre neutral, taking 1-2 hours to play in any system inspired by competitive fencing mechanics from games that were influential including going rogue by Jason Morningstargalactic 2e by Riley Rethali's been a long time since it was first released!
