Poacher

A figure lurks in the shadow of the undergrowth, their eyes fixed on their prey. As they raise their spear to strike, a sound from the opposite direction startles both hunter and beast. The warden! It’s time to flee.

Poachers is a solo role-playing game. It requires a deck of cards, two six-sided dice, a notebook, a pencil and a token to play. The game is pamphlet-sized, and can be printed double-sided on a single A4 paper.

Play as a poacher who has come to the Sacred Forest of the Moon Goddess in order to fulfill the biggest order of their illicit career: hunt and skin seven of her silver mousedeer. Survive the enchanted realm and its wardens, riches beyond their wildest dreams await.
