Dear Traveller,
Should you ever wander into The Voices’ Tavern at night time, you may be offered a game of Passage. Passage is one of many ways to distract yourself on your travels and it’s a game of luck and strategy. For full ambiance, why not take a listen to the soundtrack A Game of Passage as you read...
A game with hidden depths
While the game play is relatively simple, the cards themselves are said to hold deeper significance and are regarded as something far more solemn and auspicious than mere entertainment. To many, Passage cards hide a secret, and some folk are quite fixated on discerning a revelation in their inter-relations. And so it’s not only for the material losses folk have suffered that a game of Passage is taboo in Braided Shore. The game is more than a little socially unacceptable, which is why gamblers tend to play discreetly - most usually, Passage is played in The Voices’ Tavern, although Travellers may on occasion find themselves approached by a card-prone stranger.
Gambling & deck building
You’ll be able to play Passage at any point in Chapter Zero, and while gambling isn’t possible just yet, in future you’ll be able to win or lose your belongings and gamble your way to fortune or destitution. In the meantime. trying your hand at Passage risk-free will be a good opportunity to get to grips with the game in general and to learn some strategy. Then, when gambling is in place, you’ll have Passage skills enough to put to work and win!
The game will also become a deck builder, and as the world evolves, so will your cards! We look forward to sharing more about how you’ll collect new cards and what you’ll be gambling with in a future post.
With just less than two weeks to launch we are really excited to share all that we've shown you here on this blog for the last two years! What features are you looking forward to trying out? Is there anything more you'd like you'd like to get more info on before you play? Please do drop your thoughts right here!
Best Wishes,
