Dievas

A narrative game about a pagan community in early 13th-century Lithuania, where scattered tribes in forests and swamps face the advancing forces of the Baltic Crusades. Two to six players portray diminished pagan gods living anonymously among the villagers. Players also take on the roles of community members, outsiders, spirits, and animals, collectively creating the story of a community trying to survive and prosper with the gods’ aid. Outsiders arrive three times, bringing change and violence. Play requires pen and paper and a standard deck of 52 playing cards.
