Merely Players

All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts.

As You Like It, William Shakespeare

Fall in love with your enemies, ally with your rivals, fight with your friends, and create messy entanglements in a world that's stratified, unfair and maybe just a little bit magical.

Merely Players is a game based on Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands by Meguey Baker and D. Vincent Baker, inspired by Shakespeare plays.

It features three new minigames: 

• A Performance, for when you want to speak the truth with plausible deniability;
• Hearsay, for when rumors spread far and wide, becoming something they're not;
• and A Ceremony, for when you can't hold back your feelings in front of everybody.

...and considerations for when you want your setting to be magical.

You'll need:

• 3-6 players
• A coin
• Two hours, give or take.

Merely Players requires no previous knowledge of Shakespeare plays or theater; all you need is a love for interpersonal drama.
