Description
About This Game
In a world where every conflict is resolved through games, Ludocracy invites you to step into the shoes of a man who has lost everything to the cruel rules of a game-ruled society. Governed by the divine commandments of the Game God, this world forbids murder and theft, but instead forces its inhabitants to gamble their lives, freedom, and fortunes on the outcome of games.
You must navigate this treacherous world, mastering games like Mancala, Nard, and Tafl to survive and uncover the truth behind your forgotten past. Along the way, you’ll encounter a cast of memorable characters, from cunning gamblers to secretive revolutionaries, each with their own stories and stakes in the game.
But beware—every move you make could mean the difference between freedom and slavery, life and death. Will you rise as a master of games, challenge the very foundations of this world, and rewrite its rules? Or will you become another pawn in the Game God’s eternal play?
