Colossal has a lot to say about how we seek meaning from the symbols and images of our daily lives, and it does so with a magic so subtle that you might not see it at first read.
I played Colossal with a friend over lunch using a standard deck of 52 cards, and you would be shocked how much can be pulled out of even that. Our story felt important, and the community was full of life and character.
The game itself is very nice to look at, and the instructions are both evocative and clear. Would recommend it to anyone.
I just started playing and I'm already excited to play again! I started a journal to keep solo rpgs I play in, and I decided to start with Protector Bard Seer. As I was reading through it I started to think of ways that playing it more than once could build interesting stories, a tragic cycle of the small party always bound to lose one of the three companions.
You've created such a simple and fun game! I can't wait to see all the stories it will create.
