About the Game

 

The Dealer's Voice is a story-driven card game where you explore an alien world over cards and drinks, at your own pace. 

Invited to a mysterious bar of alien patrons, you are the Listener - tasked with hearing each of their stories. 

  • 9 Patrons and a Bartender - 10 unique storylines each featuring unique casts of characters that give insight into the city of Sahn Drei.

  • A World, seen through glass - Experience a Xenofiction story through the accounts of the characters you encounter and talk to. Make choices that reveal their thoughts and feelings towards their lives, their associates and their homes.

  • Hundreds of conversations - learn about the world of the Verdalium, its Cells, Columns and Corridors and the people who inhabit it.

  • Chat over a game of cards - spend time with the patrons over a few rounds of Cynnspiel, a custom card game of treachery where you use poker cards to build armies and attack other players for their Fortunes. 
    Once you're done, you'll earn tokens to purchase drinks and new decks of cards with. Overhear the conversations players have with other patrons where they talk about the usual and the unusual in their lives.

  • Get to know the Patrons - Every patron has their own tastes in drink, understand them better through their opinionated commentary. Invite two together to see how they feel about each other. 

  • Understand the Voice - Why were you and the other patrons invited to this strange, secret bar? Over the course, through yours and the patron's efforts, reveal the truth behind the Voice and its mysterious bartender, Cyron.

Step inside. The Voice is waiting.
