Terminus

Terminus is a tarot-powered, ritual roleplaying game that adds intention to something we do every day: Taking a walk.

Terminus is a ritual storytelling game that encourages exploration of liminal spaces and attention to the world around us. Take a walk through your favorite liminal space, make observations about things that interest you or make it feel alive, and then settle in somewhere comfortable with your tarot deck. Then, assume the role of its ghost at the end of a long life. Each observation you made on your walk becomes a place where the ghost’s final visitor interacts, and sparks a memory from the ghost’s distant past. Relive these myriad memories as the visitor follows the path of your real-life walk and then departs, taking with them the last of the ghost’s magic and memory.

A 23 page zine with simple rules, Terminus is an excellent game to take on a walk at a park, bring to the airport or a museum, or any public place where you can find a moment of peace and some good people watching. Grab a notebook, your favorite tarot deck, and head to your favorite haunt to play! If you do not own a tarot deck, the game has adaptations for playing with a regular deck of cards.

Terminus is a game for 1 or 2 players to play in 30 minutes or more.
