A ripple glides across your scalp. Like something many-legged crawling. You remember who you were; kind, selfless, caring. Perhaps, you start to wonder, if it was all a farce...

What is Host?

Host is a two-player tabletop roleplaying game exploring a parasite and its host. Using only a deck of standard playing cards, one player will embody a parasite attempting to modify the mind of the other player. 

Throughout play, you will find yourself exploring the memories of an individual; an individual that at some point became residence to a malicious entity. This creature will endeavour to warp the memories of the individual to its own selfish desires. 

By the end of the game, you will have a rich history of a person, perhaps once noble and righteous, fallen to the dark whims of an evil within. Perfect to star as your next big bad in another tabletop game.

Key Features

  • Simple core rules that are easy to learn.
  • 8 unique archetypes to select from, each flavourful and distinct.
  • Unsettling and evocative art by Brandon Lee.
  • Short playtime, taking around 20 minutes for a full game.
