HEIMARMENE: Closing Night

The show has gone on too long. The performers trapped in a theatre play, forever obeying the whims of the script, compete to take control of the narrative: a multiplayer strategy engine building board game about Fate.

Heimarmene: Closing Night is an engine-building tabletop game about taking control of your own fate. Based on ancient Gnostic ideals of destiny, the players take centre stage and fight over the narrative in a hellish play they must struggle to overcome. The roles constantly trade hands, the script always changes, and the actors must improvise to see their plans to fruition. Each player has hidden objectives which require them to play the systems in unique ways and read their opponents’ intentions, while embodying one of the nine Greek Muses. The emergent-storytelling-first design makes every playthrough unique and surprising, creating new multi-layered narratives which feel deeply player-authored.

An in-development game by Ariele Borghi and Liz Miller.
