Ten Candles
RPG 2-6 players Published
GM: Stephen Dewey 
Designer: Stephen Dewey

Ten Candles is a tragic horror tabletop storytelling game. You will tell the story of a world that has gone dark, monsters that lurk just beyond the light's edge, and the desperate survival of those left behind. Ten Candles is played by the light of ten (LED) tea light candles. As the game progresses, the candles will darken one by one, bringing your game towards its inescapable end. 

In Ten Candles you don’t need to worry about survival. Here, there are no survivors. In the final scene, all of the characters will meet their grisly end. This isn’t a story you can win. Instead, Ten Candles allows you to examine the final hours in the lives of a group of survivors desperate to make an impact on the world with their few hours left. Keep moving, don’t lose hope, and stay in the light! No kids, please (18+)
