robbiehunt Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Honor Bound is a microgame. It's like rock-paper-scissors with HP, a bluffing mechanic and woodblock illustrations! There's a lot of reading your opponent and understanding their motivations.It's now done and done, play it now!Information pagePurchase Print-and-PlayPurchase Physical GameUPDATE 11/20Game's done! Woohoo! Thanks to all for the feedback Get yourself a print-and-play or physical copy if you like!UPDATE 10/30Wow. That last 5% of a project sure takes a long time. I really had to hammer that rulebook into shape so it could be played without me in the room. I think I finally got it, however.Now compiling all the feedback and I'm thinking one last playtest and I can call it done.UPDATE - 9/30I have updated this link to the latest release. Previously I posted the alpha (version 0.0.3) - it is now in beta! (0.1.1!!) This is now feature complete and I am only tweaking the rulebook and the balance of class abilities! Since my last update I added two new classes: The Thief and The Forest Queen:Again, any feedback you can give - typos, playtest results, color critiques, whatever - is extremely welcome and appreciated. Thanks I know, this isn't the normal sort of project that is posted here - but please look over the rules and the cards and at least give a first impression, I understand printing and playing is a huge commitment.This is the earlier prototyE:Class CardsBox artThis is the newer prototype:Better, newer box artMy plan is to bring the full professionally printed version to life once I get the last few details hammered out - but tabletop gamers seem to be less enthused by self-published physical games than digital games.Thank you for taking the time to look!

Rathlord Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I'll have a closer look at this after I get off work today (leaving as I type). How many players does the game need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvhv Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Where is the mage ? Also why does the king have such drawbacks is he a good character or something? (I didn't print this out only looking at the pictures) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiehunt Posted August 17, 2014 Author Share Posted August 17, 2014 Bvhv - Well, this game uses only public domain illustrations for the cards (except the action icons: swords, daggers, magic) and I have not found a 'right' woodblock illustration for a mage hey maybe I'll kickstart for some more illustrations, haha) The king actually has a pretty good advantage in that he can stay Honor Bound (having positive honor) even if he bluffs. Normally a player would automatically go back to 0 Honor. So if the King has +2 damage and then bluffs, he would go down to +1 damage instead of +0 that any other character would. So to balance that, yes the king will have an even larger penalty when in the negative.
