Merely Players's itch.io pageSubject, Skills, and Grade Level
The game is primarily a way of teaching about Shakespearean (or other) texts, and help students to engage with concepts around the text itself and performance styles more broadly. It's most appropriate for high school and college students encountering this material in their studies, either as English or Theatre students.
Time & Players
A play session may take a few hours, but it's not imperative that the players complete an entire Shakespeare text in one sit-down. It's best suited for 3-6 players and a GM.
Rules, Tools, & Assessment
The game is not GM-less, as one player (the educator?) will take the role of the Master of Revels. There is no assessment tool built in aside from the MoR's doling out of points and challenges. Players will need a coin for flipping, two decks of playing cards, a Shakespeare play (preferably everyone will use the same edition), and the game book.
