Wassail
A downloadable game
What
Wassail is a game of hot spiced drinks, ancient trees, cartomancy and ritual.
The epub and pdf versions here on itch have the full rules including a basic recipe for hot cider wassail and a brief overview of how to read a pair of Lenormand cards.
There is a free version of the rules on my website that does not include the recipe or the card guide.
How
This game has the players prepare a flask of hot wassail and head off into the forest at night to find the oldest tree.
While there you will perform a ritual to bless the tree and discover the forests inner most secrets.
With
To play you will need:
- A deck of Lenormand cards (or standard playing cards)
- A flask of wassail
- 2 - 6 people
