I've dm'd this a couple of times now both in public and private and I think it's fascinating to see how it's played by my close friends who have been gaming together for years vs. strangers who are kind of on their best behavior in public. I was very reticent to bring it to strangers but I think it gave the social politics so much more power because it was all so impersonal as to who was getting boons, based entirely on how well they were playing with others. I could see how it could have easily gone wrong but I was delighted in its success.

Great theme, mechanics and gameplay. if the GM reads thought the PDF very easy to run a game with players with next to no experience. A full session can take from 4-5hours so best cut into 2 sessions or one long session. Really underrated gem, but be prepared for total brutality. (My one gripe is there are a few pages missing from the pdf. A sentance seems to end halfway trough and it looks like about 3pages are missing. Unsure what this is but I would like to see them.) 8/10
