Expect Three Visitors

A Christmas Carol is a much-loved story centred around Scrooge - a thoroughly unlikeable character whose life is transformed by encounters with a series of spirits. It has been filmed many times, and in many styles. The story of his redemption has been told by actors, singers, cartoon characters and even muppets.  

Scrooge's greed is probably the best known of the "seven deadly sins", but why can't we tell stories about people whose' lives suffer from an unchecked relationship to any of the other vices? What about people who are ruining the lives of people around them because of their pride, their wrath, their gluttony, their envy, their lust, or their sloth? Can they be rescued too?

This is an immersive table top story game for 3-5 players. A game session can take 2-4 hours to play. All you need is a pack of playing cards, some paper and pens. Each player inhabits two roles: that of a Spirit who frames a scene for the player on their left; and a Client who is being shown a scene from their life by the player on your right.

"I don’t know a better designer than Alex White when it comes to emotion-charged games that make you root for the characters. This is no exception; it takes terrible people and lets you redeem them (maybe!), and have an amazing time in the process. Recommended."

- Kevin Kulp, game designer
