Dark Beast, Dark Name

User summary:

This rules-light and curious game focuses on a simple card mechanism that proceeds for a specified number of rounds. The game is directed by a game master and played by three people assuming defined characters. However, characterization is slight and occurs during play. Each character has a "treasure" which is an unknown ("secret") fact about the player. The character tries to guard the treasure but during play it might be uncovered. Players also illustrate certain game events. A bit of theatricality is called for and a few simple props are utilized during play (including a candle and, possibly, burning a play-generated artifact.
