The Slow Knife

The Slow Knife is a story game for 2-4 players, inspired by tales of patient revenge like The Count of Monte Cristo.

You'll tell the decades-long account of a young soul's revenge against those who betrayed them, all from the perspective of the villains.

You'll answer card prompts about your scoundrel's life as you add notes and connections to a growing pinboard of sin and scandal--which will become their undoing as The Knife , the victim of their long-ago crime, returns.

By the conclusion, you'll have each construed the conspiracy that destroys your wretched character as they find themselves broken and utterly ruined.
