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.
