This is a four-player game that simulates the struggle for power among four characters in William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Prospero, Miranda, Ariel, and Caliban vie for release from their island bondage and fulfillment of their hearts' desires. All you need to play is a standard deck of 52 cards, a fair recollection of lines from Shakespeare's play, and a few willing friends!
I just posted to the Game Chef site, too. Sorry I haven't chatted this up before now, but it's been bumping around in my head all week while I was taking care of other things.
Here's a link to the game: http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~tbryant3/BRYANT-MirandasGambit.pdf (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~tbryant3/BRYANT-MirandasGambit.pdf)
Here's a second, perhaps more permanent, link to the game: http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/mirandas-gambit (http://www.1km1kt.net/rpg/mirandas-gambit).
It's the exact same file at both locations. I am adding this second link in case this one disappears, many months from now, after I graduate.
