The Peddler’s Prize

What Have We Got Here?

The Peddler’s Prize is an item-detailing world building game for 1–10 players in which you build out an inventory of interesting Objects and determine these Objects’ ties to factions. Starting with a set of uncolored object illustrations, you’ll choose factions with a vested interest in tactile curiosities and discover each Object’s story together.

In the end you’ll have created an inventory of oddities, the peddler who sells them, and have a guide for which factions have the most sway over the market, all wrapped up for use in another game, setting, or story.

This work is based on Beak, Feather, & Bone system by Tyler Crumrine which uses a deck of cards and a black and white illustration to guide players through defining and detailing a map, or in our case an inventory of objects. Players pick an item then use the suit and rank of the card to answer questions, and a faction as a lens to describe the object. At the end of a BFB game, players have collectively built out a world and have something ready to use in another game.
