About the game

The world has gone dark under the Dark Lord's rule. As the leader of different fantasy species with no common language, your only hope is the wordless communication of touch. Each round, the Leader reads out their mini-game's rules, which use nothing but touch to secretly communicate a strategy to the other players. After hearing you read out the mini-game's rules, they must feel out the message you send them.

Guess correctly and you earn allies for the Final Battle ahead, where every army you've gathered together will be all that stands between your people and total defeat. No talking, no peeking, just hands, trust, and a message that only tactile touch can communicate. Won the Best Innovation award at Fastaval 2026.
