Description
Bonds Between is a card-altering tabletop roleplaying game about everyday dragons in the modern world and the quiet, broken places they call home.
Bonds Between is a duet for two renewal-focused dragons. You’ve each inherited neighboring spaces in dire need of attention. Together, fulfill your caretaking responsibilities, the “dragon pact of community, creativity, and collaboration.” Because dragons no longer pillage, burn, or steal. Long ago, they were greedy, violent, and terrible, but the passage of time brought change. Now, the human world is minded by dragons. Oft unseen (and with varying degrees of success), dragons provide the magical energy keeping hearts full, homes warm, and communities strong.
Whimsical and kind, Bonds Between is a totally diceless game, instead driven by draws from a standard playing card deck. Each dragon uses their own deck of cards and each dragon must change those cards to boost their magic. Color, cut, collage, scribble, and burn. Dive into your hoard – er, junk drawer – and find those old stickers! Finish that tube of glitter glue! Embroider, if you’re feeling ambitious! Trade cards to solve problems. Remake your worlds. Help your domain thrive and, at the end of four seasons, each of you will enjoy your own unique, handmade artifact.
Rather play solo? You can do that! Bonds Between includes directions for journaling/playing card-altering from the perspective of one person telling the story of both dragons.
