  WHAT IS TEN CANDLES?

Ten Candles is a zero-prep tabletop storytelling game designed for one-shot 2-4 hour sessions of tragic horror. It is best played with one GM and 3-5 players, by the light of ten tea light candles which provide atmosphere, act as a countdown timer for the game, and allow you to literally burn your character sheet away as you play. Ten Candles is described as a "tragic horror" game rather than survival horror for one main reason: in Ten Candles there are no survivors. In the final scene of the game, when only one candle remains, all of the characters will die. In this, Ten Candles is not a game about "winning" or beating the monsters. Instead, it is a game about what happens in the dark, and about those who try to survive within it. It is a game about being pushed to the brink of madness and despair, searching for hope in a hopeless world, and trying to do something meaningful with your final few hours left.

The game requires 5 notecards or pieces of same-sized paper and something to write with.

That's it! I will go over the rules of the game and character creation with you…they are both very simple.

The game will be about 2-3 hours long.

The game is a tragic horror storytelling game (everyone's character WILL die in the end) that relies on dice rolls to determine who narrates the story. If the GM wins the roll, the GM gets to narrate what happens next. If a player wins the roll, the player gets to narrate what happens! It's cooperative storytelling at its finest.
