Madcap Monarchs

Six Petty Rulers, One Tiny World

Six squabbling tribes share one very small planet. They gather, raid, make truces, break them, and build shrines to wake their gods. You don't command anyone: you pick the ruler you think will end up owning the place, and tilt the world their way with a whim or two.

How it plays

Back a rulerEach leader has a personality and a plan: warlords, turtles, schemers, shrine-builders. Pick one before the world gets going.

Whims, not ordersWhimsy builds up slowly. Spend it on whims: a golden harvest, a tailwind, or rain on a rival. Enough to tilt things, never to decide them.

Watch it unfoldLetters from your ruler, champions rising and falling, and the world ending in a conquest or a god's arrival.
