All-King's Will

The All-King rules all people. He holds the incomprehensible power to lead and build, as well as to make war and destroy. His will is absolute, and whatever He wishes done is inevitably so. Through you Ministers does His Orders be transformed into reality, His grand purpose made manifest.  It is an onus like no other. Successes are handsomely rewarded and failures likewise met with swift judgment. Will you consign your name to the great history of the All-King's people, or should it be relegated to the list of untold many found wanting?

All-King's Will is a competitive—but collaborative—storytelling game for two to four players that requires no game master, dungeon master, or referee to play. Everything you need to play is contained within a single sheet of A4 paper. You only need to supply another piece of paper, writing implements, and some regular six-sided and twenty-sided dice.

In this game, you will compete with your fellow Ministers to fulfill the All-King's wishes, no matter how bizarre, dangerous, or impossible it seemed. His orders are by nature unexpected and sometimes utterly out of your mortal comprehension, hence the results of your carrying out of it may sometime be out of your control. It is inevitable that eventually, you will fail. Thankfully, if you can't ensure your success, you can at least affect the other Ministers' failure....
