The game

You wake at a table in a house in the woods. Across it sits a dealer with a skull for a face, and he wants you to play.

The Hollow Table is a first-person horror card game in two halves that feed each other. At the table, creatures are laid in four lanes, fed with blood and bone, and bled for one another, until the planchette is pushed five marks his way. A road of duels leads to the Arcana at the end of each: the Tower, Judgement, the Wheel, the Hanged Man, Death, the Moon, and the last face he keeps for himself.

Between hands you stand up, take a candle, and walk the house. Every room hides something: riddles, papers, memories that come back in pieces. And the house goes deeper than a house should: a drowned crypt, a bell tower, a field of corn where not all of them stay on their crosses, and woods under a full moon where something runs. After an ending come the dire omens: ten ways for the dealer to deal the table darker, each opened by a night won under the last.
