Vis-a-visage
Vis à Viager is an epic narrative combat strategy game where players create characters in secret and battle forward towards their goals. The central mechanic involves the interplay between character sheets, dice pools, resources (narrative prompts), opponents as Instigators or Deterrers who attempt to thwart each other's attempts using unfamiliar tools like swapped faces from a surgical procedure that has replaced identities with new ones left unrecognized by networks and loved friends alike! The game uses two clocks for tracking characters' goals. When one player completes their goal, the final round of play begins; players answer whether they will get to return home or be stuck in this strange place forever (face swap). The physical copies are available on a website linked above with concise rules included that can adapt gameplay seamlessly onto online messaging platforms like Twitter!
