Gambler's Heart
A downloadable game
Do you know when to hold em? Know when to fold em? Then don't walk away nor run from Gambler's Heart!
Gambler's Heart is a 12-page, fully illustrated table top RPG, perfect for groups of 4-5 players (including the Game Master) looking for something quick, easy, and fun.
Players will take on the role of Gamblers, card sharps who once played a game of cards against a magical being... and won. Now imbued with mystic power, you'll fight to prevent the clandestine organisation known as The CONTROL from destroying chance itself.
Gambler's Heart's basic mechanic is a miniaturised poker game, using dice rather than cards. A player casting a spell will square off against the GM, both betting their Fortune on whether their hand is stronger than the other's. If your dice fall short, you can call upon the magic Patrons of the Gamblers for aid - but be careful. If the Game Master figures out which Patron gave you your magic, you're in trouble. Better practice that poker face!
To play Gambler's Heart you only need:
- Five poker dice and one ordinary six-sided die, or six ordinary six-sided dice.
- A pencil and paper to take notes.

This was such a breath of fresh air to run. It felt like every character had their own personality in mechanics while not needing more than a bathroom break to learn them all.
