How to play ?

For the Drama is an application that allows you to play a role-playing game on the go, without preparation for you and up to 5 other players.
Choose from the games available, select the pacing of the game and play immediately: you do not need to know the rules or to explain them before you start!

Your story is built by answering Questions in turn. Tell stories of love, revenge, honour, doubt, competition, etc.


What are these games?

For the Drama offers you to play free role-playing games inspired by the game For The Queen (see legal mentions), a game created by Alex Roberts and published by Evil Hat Productions.

Positioning

These games are playable from 1 to 6 players (and even more!)
To play, you need:

  • a computer or smartphone to use this application
  • from 1 hour to 3 hours depending on the duration set at the beginning of the game
  • or download and print a game, then cut out the cards

Before starting a game, agree on a speaking order that will not change during the game.

For the DramaFor the Drama offers a system of game code to allow several players to join together on the same game: the cards are then shared and their printing synchronized on all screens.


Duration of a part

After having chosen a game, the application suggests you to choose the desired duration: the Final Card meaning the end of the game is then placed after 10, 20 or 30 cards.

The duration of a game varies according to...

  • ... the location of the Final Card is placed in the Questions package
  • ... how players develop their answers to the Questions.
  • ... the number of questions that players ask each other
