The Belly is Our Home

Everyone knows the legend of the great sea beast that swallows ships whole. The scourge of the sea, a living maelstrom, all who dare sail into open waters beware.

Yet those swallowed by the great beast who make it out alive speak of a different story. They speak of a kind and generous community living inside the creature willing to share supplies and their homes. Of a place of happiness and joy in the most unlikely of situations. And while they chose to leave, just as many choose to stay.

The Belly is Our Home is a one-shot GMless narrative game for 1-4 players about life inside the belly of a sea beast. It's a game about storytelling, community, and finding home.  The only materials needed are a deck of cards or random number generator.
