Mal Ardent
A dark medieval hidden-role game set in a village ravaged by Pestilence, War, Famine, and Madness. Faithful players offer Prayer cards to a Judge in an effort to restore order and lead a Scourge to Redemption, while the hidden Possessed work together to corrupt the proceedings and draw a Scourge into Evil. The Possessed must remain concealed as the village suffers the consequences of each turn.
