Uneasy Lies the Head

Uneasy Lies the Head is royal court intrigue in the form of a tabletop roleplaying game for 2-5 players. The game is at its best as a short campaign of two to four sessions. You can also shorten it into a one-shot or string together multiple games as a longer campaign. There is no game master, so each player will:

☛ Plot and scheme as antagonistic members of a royal court
☛ Embody titles that let you rule as the monarch, love as the paramour, wage war as the claimant, pray as the absolver, and more
☛ Prepare divisive plans to spread rumors, enact laws, host festivities, propose duels, and more

Uneasy Lies the Head is a whole new game system designed from the ground up to give players a framework for interactive, competitive, political roleplaying. Characters will often be at odds with one another, making alliances in one scene and breaking them in the next.

The Royal Edition boxed set includes playing cards, playsheets, custom dice, and the companion game Hungry Out of Habit.
