PHYSICAL COPIES OF REVOLT! AVAILABLE HERE

Revolt! is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game
for 2 to 4 rebellious citizens, or one gallant knight.

Play to tell tales in the troubled realm of Lektok, where Mortimus the Toad King has claimed the throne after a bloody civil war. The citizens are struggling under his harsh decree and there are rumours of unrest.

Come gather round and let us conjure a vision,
of how power corrupts even noble ambitions...

In Revolt! each player takes on the role of a unique faction—a group of like-minded citizens, united by their faction leader and a shared creed.

To overthrow the monarch, players must travel the realm, gathering support at the towns, landmarks and environments where other citizens live and work.

You'll draw cards and answer questions, describing the sites and citizens you encounter and how your faction wins support or suffers a setback. 


At the end of the game, the faction with the most support claims the throne for their leader and announces a new decree, while the others discover their fate.

But Lektok has been changed forever and a new revolt is never far away...

When the battle is over, having strained every sinew,
a new monarch is crowned—but the cycle continues.
There can be no decree that exists without fault,
so it won't be too long until they cry 'REVOLT!'...

had a blast. An original system for single-player. As my story unfolded, I could see it. I can't wait to play it again to see what kind of story it will be. Thanks, Jason.

Thanks Philippe! So nice to hear solo players are enjoying the game.

I backed the game and got it two days ago. I did a solo run and had a blast. Your game is amazing and I hope it will get more visibility. 

Ah thank you, that really means a lot and glad you enjoyed it solo! It should have arrived with all backers by the end of August so I’m hoping more people will get a chance to play soon 😄
