This week’s Kickstarter roundup includes a Sci-Fi corebook for Daggerheart, a game to make your own cult-classic B horror film, and much more.

Trial of Lotus

Trial of Lotus is a game of social deduction set in a world of Chinese mythology and Art Nouveau style. Journey to a mythic spirit forest where the Jade Lotus is going through sacred trials, but the Black Fox is lurking and trying to weave a web of deceit. Can you figure out who in your group represents the Black Fox? Or will you be too distracted by the game’s gorgeous art?

 

Experience Art Nouveau Mythology through Social Deduction. It’s Avalon meets Werewolf in a World of Eastern Fantasy.

To preserve the peace of the forest, spirits are summoned to help Jade Lotus through a series of sacred Trials on her path to ascension. Over the course of the game, players are divided into Sun and Moon groups through random token draws, reshuffled every two Trials. In each Trial, the selected group secretly submits Heart Tokens – either Pure or Tainted – to determine the result of the Trials.
