Playing Passage in Book of Travels

Dear Traveller,

Should you ever wander into The Voices Tavern at night time, you may be offered a game of Passage. Passage is one of many ways to distract yourself on your travels and its a game of luck and strategy. For full ambiance, why not take a listen to the soundtrack A Game of Passage as you read...

A game with hidden depths

While the game play is relatively simple, the cards themselves are said to hold deeper significance and are regarded as something far more solemn and auspicious than mere entertainment. To many, Passage cards hide a secret, and some folk are quite fixated on discerning a revelation in their inter-relations. And so its not only for the material losses folk have suffered that a game of Passage is taboo in Braided Shore. The game is more than a little socially unacceptable, which is why gamblers tend to play discreetly - most usually, Passage is played in The Voices Tavern, although Travellers may on occasion find themselves approached by a card-prone stranger.

Gambling & deck building

Youll be able to play Passage at any point in Chapter Zero, and while gambling isnt possible just yet, in future youll be able to win or lose your belongings and gamble your way to fortune or destitution. In the meantime. trying your hand at Passage risk-free will be a good opportunity to get to grips with the game in general and to learn some strategy. Then, when gambling is in place, youll have Passage skills enough to put to work and win! The game will also become a deck builder, and as the world evolves, so will your cards! We look forward to sharing more about how youll collect new cards and what youll be gambling with in a future post.

With just less than two weeks to launch we are really excited to share all that we've shown you here on this blog for the last two years! What features are you looking forward to trying out? Is there anything more you'd like you'd like to get more info on before you play? Please do drop your thoughts right here!

Join The Book of Travels and become a part of a unique social roleplaying experience that doesn’t hold your hand. Inspired by genre classics, this is a serene adventure that sets you adrift in a fairytale world... but it’s also an invitation to roleplay without the restraints of linear missions and plotlines. Feel at liberty to travel the free wilds and vivid cities of the Braided Shore peninsula. Wander deep into the layers of this hand-drawn world, stumble upon its hidden places or unravel one of its many mysteries. There is no overarching goal, no real beginning or end, but for mortal characters the stakes can be high.

Braided Shore is a vast and intricate world, but meetings with other players are few and far between so your chance encounters will be something special. Choose to collaborate together or to survive alone, either way, you’ll be part of the birth of an exciting new online community, one where many stories will be told.

But take note: This is a game for wayfinders and wanderers and it won’t plan out your route. Instead it will trust you to to play in your own style and to shape your own journey. Whichever way you choose to travel, you’ll soon be adding your own chapters to the Book of Travels.

Authentic roleplaying and individual playstyles
Pick one of 20+ Forms in a detailed character creation sheet that focuses on personality and identity rather than stats and classes. The game allows you to play in a style that matches your character and to set your own personal goals. Are you a danger-seeking adventurer, a stoic practitioner of magic binding, or a carefree tea drinking gambler?
Boundless narrative that won’t hold your hand
Your travels will present you with countless randomly occurring events making your story unique, and each session different from the last. Peel back the layers of diverse plotlines and discover an immensely deep fairytale world.
TMO - Tiny Multiplayer Online
Other players are few, but your paths will cross - it’s up to you to choose to travel together or go it alone. Find vehicles to reach far flung places or just amble through woods together. The absence of guilds and social structures makes your temporary fellowships unique and memorable.
A beautiful world of uncertainty
An intricate and unique world that draws inspiration from old-world fairytales, Eastern mythologies and early industrial eras. Tons of intricate events chains that unlock items, characters, deep world secrets, and hidden gameplay features and tricks.
Communicate using symbols
Learn to use a unique set of symbols to communicate with other players. Unlock new symbols as you encounter new features and places (e.g. you’ll gain the symbol for “city” only after you’ve visited a city). The limitation in communication lays the foundation for a rich and friendly multiplayer experience.
Innovative RPG systems
Define your character by unlocking and mastering 300+ abilities, magical skills and passive feats that will have a huge impact on your character and open up different experiences of the game. Gain experience in numerous ways: by exploring, being courteous, gathering and trading. Battles can be rewarding, but you will learn more in defeat than in victory.
The world is a hand painted diorama
Experience a unique game view perspective ‘painted’ in a richly detailed artstyle. Click to walk like old school RPGs but in scenes with 3-dimensional depth.
Commiting to the world - together
Might and Delight studio is fully committed to making this online world grow and live for a long long time - together with you. Much like a dungeon master we will hint about new mysterious scenarios, but it will be up to you, the players, to let us know what we should explore next. Additionally, we’ll add new levels, constantly making the vast world even bigger, adding new playable characters and of course thousands of storylines and events. Stories will change and evolve and eras of new narratives will follow.
