Narrative

Narrative Games:
• The Mechanism: The game acts as a vehicle for a rich, written story, often replacing traditional competitive rules with paragraphs of text, branching choices, and dialogue.
• Gameplay: A session feels closer to an interactive novel or a cooperative choose-your-own-adventure book. Players are presented with heavy moral dilemmas, narrative crossroad cards, and character interactions that permanently alter the direction of the plot.
• Example Board Games: Tales of the Arabian Nights, Mice and Mystics, Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, Stuffed Fables, Forgotten Waters
