Inspired by Arthur Rackham’s How Mordred was Slain by Arthur, and How by Him Arthur was Hurt to the Death, THE LAST STAND is a GM-less micro-role-playing game in which 1-4 players portray the last combatants facing each other on a battlefield.
Using playing cards, the combatants will determine their strategy each round as they circle each other. In between exchanging blows, the combatants will describe what is going through their minds, both in regard to the current fight as well as memories that well to the surface as they face the possibility of their own death. Eventually, one combatant will win, and the others will fall.
Created for the Rackham Jam.
