"The Usurper"
13 players. Each player represents one of the False Gods, except one -- the Usurper.
Every player has three False God powers: one based on their Element, one based on their Creature, and one based on their Item. Items and Creatures can change owners and even be destroyed or killed (any of which deactivates any powers they generate that are currently active), but none of this is visible to the players (except the item/creature's owner, of course).
The goal of the False Gods is to find out which player is the Usurper and kill him using one of their Powers.
The goal of the Usurper is to manipulate circumstances so that there are no Powers left capable of killing him. Once that has been accomplished, he wins. Yes, this can be a difficult thing to do, but the Usurper has some impressive powers at his disposal.
Play consists of max-48-hour rounds in four phases:
1) Each player asks any other player a question.
2) Each FG may choose to activate a power. If they do so now, they cannot do so in Phase 4.
3) Each question gets answered by the player asked -- but the answer may be the truth or a lie, and sometimes a Power will dictate which it is.
4) Each FG who didn't activate a Power earlier
must activate a Power.
5) Report on the results of all powers and start a new round.
Nothing could be simpler, right?
