Return of the Simurgh Playtest

Return of the Simurgh
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android

I and three other friends did the first playtest for this game.  We went on for 12 rounds and let the one with the highest score win. The group I have done the playtest were mostly familiar with the themes and elements due to their upbringings and backgrounds, which they found to be very nostalgic for them. The winner ended the game with 63 points. She also got to sabotage two of the other players along the way! The lowest score was surprisingly scored by the very creator of the game, me and it was 37 points. I also got to help the players come up with characters and backstories since they were not familiar with roleplaying games. They were all so funny and we had a good laugh about it. I am glad they got engaged with the game the way did, even throwing tantrums over getting sabotaged!
