Off The Hook

Rumors of a terrible sea monster have been floating around your seaside town.

People disappearing, tides changing, total devastation…

Gnashing teeth, unimaginable strength…

Hardly anyone goes outside anymore.

No one has actually seen this monster in all its entirety-

But you can’t live in terror forever.

Boarding the next available boat, you set off on what might be your last marine journey.

With nothing better to do, you begin to reminisce about the tall tales about the sea monster.

Will they prove to be true when you finally encounter the monster?

And can you bring yourself to end its life?

Off The Hook is a Descended From the Queen game about the rumors and mystery surrounding a sea monster currently terrorizing the seaside town you and a ragtag group of people hail from. Using a 52 card deck (with the jokers removed), exchange memories, tales, hypotheticals, and general banter about the sea monster. You ultimately decide if you let the beast live, out of mercy or perhaps out of safety, or confront the beast, to capture it, kill it, or die trying.

This game requires 2-6 players, no GM required. Player cap can exceed 6 if needed, it’s more fun with more people!
