Tales from the Junior Ganymede
(Interior art added to the book in this update, there will likely be no further updates.) Tales from the Junior Ganymede is an experiment in making an RPG based around the mechanic of the trick taking card game, such as Euchre, Spades or Hearts.  The players take up the playbooks for the young and idly rich heirs of an upper class English family, such as you might find in the Wooster & Jeeves novels, or television shows such as Upstairs/Downstairs. They then match wits against the Matriarch of their family, attempting to dodge the family responsibilities that they are so poorly equipped to handle. Theme Song: "Yacht Club Swing," by Fats Waller (This game was created as an entry for the 2020 RefractionTTRPG Jam, stage 2)
